These last few months have engulfed me in a mental cage,
At times, I feel like even this can’t be cured by a sage,

My emotions toy with me as my soul becomes enraged,
Sometimes the belief within self sounds like I am deranged,

My passion for life has smolder to a just a spark-
Glowing every so dimly as if I don’t even have a heart,

No contemplation of death seeks me today,
Only the severity of being lost is what greets me now,

Each day becomes a constant struggle,
As if I am bound by a chain that is forevermore tightening,
Collapsing the creativity until it breathes it last breath,
I am afraid to gulp free will, fearing it as a feeble attempt to succeed,

Mass produced now are quick fix ideas, neglecting the view of the forest,
A tree that is old and is becoming infected from within,
The cure lies not outside of itself,

Seconds turn to hours, as time continues at a rhythmic pace,
I sit here, mentally doomed to look at it, unable to conceive anything else,

This place I am at now, is solitude of survival,
Any contact outside of this is seen as an infinitely wise move,
Nay, I reach not outward for the remedy, but seek to immerse myself in this silence,

One day I will reflect back and think of this moment and see how far I have been carried away from it.

I love the very descreptive words and meanings behind them. Tis a very well done poem.

I can only take so much before I love you starts to sound like a lie.
