What I Hide Deep Inside.

Down on my bruised knees
screaming into the darkness.
Begging into nothing..."Stop me, Please?!"
Ringing fridged hands until they bleed.
Grasping at emptiness to be freed.
Slicing at the face I can not stand to see
that floats in the coldness
staring blankly at me.
Strangling the soul that lays beneath,
cold and empty
struggling just to breathe.
Blocking out the sound of beating inside
when I lock myself in the place where the walls are frozen
and I fight to hide.
Freezing in my own silent cell
as I die secretly inside my own tortured hell.


 There is an alter ego which
dwells in every soul...

Thank you so very much danni.
I was once told that I use too much imagery...
I never thought that was possible, but it must be.
I see my words as images, visions, little movies (maybe is a better way to say it) in my head as I write and attempt for others to be able to see what I do.
May it be that that is the wrong way to write?
Once again, thank you.

That a false coin is just as good as gold?
