"Stuck Inside"

Tormented inner structure crumbling under pressure
waiting in an internal abyss
like an empty ocean barren of life
all have gone and have died
all that remains is an unanswered thought

A hidden lurking predator ridding the current
waiting to strike as its mystery induces a great fear
rationalising its intrepid voyage leaves only further questions
what is so scary if the threat is not assessed

what I hide of my childhood to myself
what became of the din recess of my life up to now
how I missed what I believed my only chance for her
my failure to understand myself

This leaves me awake most nights trembling
The throne I once sat upon is now blooded
now I stand looking up at the great incline
a sign points a landslide but there is no path back

Im new to poetry if you liked it please tell me what you think of my other stuff

thanks river and yes i am relatively new, bit about myself. I failed English at school and never followed it up. I read philosophy books a lot though. Also i was told at high school i had no literary creativity.

I agree with River. this was good. Maybe at english in high school, the work didn't allow you to show this type of work. That's what my school's like. Good write.
