A cry of deafening silence

Going about in circles, in a hallucinating haze

As if encaptured by my own shadow
Illuminated by a central brightness within
the brightness that scared, the one that traumatized.

The meaningful life that I once led, gone..

trying to find myself through past treasures,
I look beyond, but I'm deadened,
Deadened by my own guilt, deadened by defeat.

Oh how I wept and begged for mercy

To unleash the angel!!
My angel of freedom!
Somewhere lost, bound in shackles.

Oh you! I'm in a coffin of my own mind,

My angel is locked within my heart
I struggle to get out, out of this maze...
But no one can hear, My cry of deafening silence.
