Prison (Poem)

My mind is like a terrible prison I can’t escape

I have never been to prison

But I don’t imagine anyone wants to be there

I, do not want to be inside my mind

My mind is my own prison

And I feel trapped

Suffocated

The cement walls are closing in

My thoughts are like the inmates

Screaming

They won’t be quiet
I don’t know how to silence them

I am stuck in the corner

With a plastic spoon

Trying to dig my way back

To sanity

I tie my thoughts

In the form of a noose

I would much rather hang myself

Than to be trapped

In this prison
