Honest friends by my side,
Kept ignorant of harsh realities.
alone terrorised by thoughts.
Unwilling to share my questions.
building a cover to present
Leaving a statue of control.
It seemed possible but strength wans
A constant effort, there is no way out.
To simply endure becomes a challenge.
The terrifying possibilities
The mind feeds ferocious fear.
Echoes of the world laughing.
The image stripped from a remnant being.
Authentic self but fragile whispers,
Failing to breach the ravenous dark.
All that’s left is the label, the shell.
A husk too afraid to let people in.
An endless reminder of what they see.
