I am everywhere

I can't help but feel
I can't help but fall.
I'm trapped inside a padded chamber of perplexity.
I can't help but keel.
I can't help but crawl.
I'm trapped inside these bloodied walls of anxiety.
I'm so ignorant,
so stupid.

I can't destroy myself,
I can't destroy.

I can't help but lie.
I can't help but fake.
I'm losing my grip on this so called reality.
I can't help but cry.
I can't help but ache.
I'm losing the fight against my alter ego.
I'm losing,
I've lost.

I can't lie about you anymore,
I can't lie.

I'm not okay.

Oh wow. This piece says it all and some more...this says everything I've wanted to say for such a long time...but the words never left my tongue--or for that matter, my pen. Thank you,,,,,

Honestly, I think that poem was very beautiful, as it held nothing back and just blurted your truth. In my opinion, thats a key to a good poem. I think you did a great job and you should be proud of yourself for making this. This is real artwork here.

I'm a big fan of alter egos (I should be since I have several) & I think they tell us alot about ourselves. Sounds like yours is offering some good advice.
