Shattered: A Castle of Glass
Anxiety murmurs softly, fear takes its grip,
Cracks bleed sorrow, emotions slip.
Racing thoughts twist and weave,
A mind built on nerves, hard to conceive.
Weighted worries pressing near,
Tightening around each trembling fear.
Shaking, hiding, the monster inside,
Gripping my heart, nowhere to hide.
The beast within stirs with every thought,
Through chaos, I seek what I’ve long sought.
Tied by the pull of shadows that bind,
Trying to recall what it means to be kind.
Agitation roars, a toll on my soul,
Anger swells, taking its toll.
I scream, but my voice is drowned,
In the silence where my heart is bound.
A voice inside, desperate and loud,
Doubts grow, I feel lost in the crowd.
Judgement lingers, sharp as a knife,
I stand alone, fighting for my life.
I bury myself in despair’s tight grip,
Twirling strands, letting sanity slip.
A constant need to soothe the ache,
Trying to heal from the damage I make.
I reach for the stars, longing to be free,
Splinters of pain more than scars can be.
Seeking light beyond the dark,
To find my way, to leave a mark.
Not to forget, but to embrace,
The broken parts that time can’t erase.
The storm within begins to cease,
Cracking walls, searching for peace.
A shattered castle, its pieces fall,
Silent wishes, a last desperate call.
I am a puppet, waiting to rise,
A caterpillar shedding its disguise.
“You can’t be afraid of people willing to hurt you, cause if you fear life, then you will never live.”
Chester Bennington

Is it a nightmare vision? Beautifully written; scary as hell…. Donna

Thank you! It’s definitely from personal experience. I’ve felt all of that over the years, but I’m progressively seeing a different view on things. It is rather nightmarish.

A different view on things is a precious observation, especially to recognize, return to, and seek- I think.
