My personal hell
Is the one in my mind,
The one created by my imagination.
The place where each thought
Is dominated by death,
By worry and fear.
A bump or a crack
Is a broken bone,
While an asthma attack
Means cancer.
My parents and friends
Love me, love me not.
A sarcastic word, or one that is mean,
Said to me
Cuts like a knife into my brain
Twisting and turning while slicing through.
Each word is distorted,
Analyzed, remembered.
I tortue myself,
Thinking of possibilities
That never will occur.
Recreating conversations,
Defending myself against the voices,
Trying to change the past in my head.
Or telling a story, explaining myself
To people who do not exist.
Monologues to summon courage
That I tell myself are not true.
My personal hell needs not a guard,
As I keep myself prisoner.
No deivces are needed
To tortue myself,
Thoughts are more than enough.
