Barb Wire Soul
This reflection never crumbles
Eyes as black as coal
Cold staring lifeless
The unforgettable me
I want to forget
It’s icy in this mind
Nothing warming about these thoughts
They freeze my heart
Making it hard to feel
Can’t shed a single tear
A barb wire soul
Justified barrier to existence
Death is creeping
That constant whisper
Never tiring of chasing me
Guilty of hanging on
Life is a sadistic bastard
Laughing with each breath
Why let me die
When I can entertain the cruel masses

NICELY WRITTEN...LIFE'S STRUGGLES ARE SOMETIMES UNSEEN THROUGH EYES CLOUDY BY LIFE'S UNFORESEEN MOMENTS AND EVENTS, BUT WE GET THROUGH IT NOT BY WALKING IN THE DARKNESS BUT WHILE WALKING FROM OUT OF THE DARKNESS INTO THE SUNSHINE, WHETHER REAL OR IMAGINARY FOR WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS JUST IMAGE IF YOU HAD SOMEONE ELES LIFE'S SITUATION WHEN THE SUN WILL NEVER SHINE AGAIN...KEEP YOUR HEAD

painfully sharp write, AP, and chilling as a northerly wind after summer's heat.
wishing you milder days, gentled nights.

Butters said it well. Vivid melancholy through your very relatable write. The mind can be a prison. In my spiritual practice, you learn to recognize the voice in your head as a construct and disidentify from it. The true self is the awareness behind thoughts, the universal consciousness that permeates everything. It's a beautiful idea that gives me peace. Your details are well rendered, metaphors adroit, emotions palpable. Nice work.

I like how macabre this is, the steely truth of a being caged that entertains, how true that life is a circus and sensation sells..
