Caught in a trap
I roam the darkened streets
A chill cuts like a knife
Cold enough to
Bring the dead back to life
Find the door
With the no trespassing sign
Give the secret knock
To get my next high
Fall onto the couch
As I fall into the void
What happened to
That cheerful bright eyed boy
Got caught in a trap
Of running from his feelings
Now the truth is
Something he doesn't want to believe in
A chill cuts like a knife
Cold enough to
Bring the dead back to life
Find the door
With the no trespassing sign
Give the secret knock
To get my next high
Fall onto the couch
As I fall into the void
What happened to
That cheerful bright eyed boy
Got caught in a trap
Of running from his feelings
Now the truth is
Something he doesn't want to believe in

Raw and uncut truth spoken you describe it very well indeed I remember that scene so very well myself being caught up in a trap within the void of the darkness that grabs a hold on you so tight not letting up on the deepness of one's thoughts and emotions and feelings calling you back for one more score to take you higher than before between the lines of life and death for I know what you're going through as I've been there thyself brother just keep writing to escape from the madness and insanity there is a voice inside of you that needs to be heard through words to help others to do the same walk away from the drama and stress of a junkies dream world respect brother poet 🤛🙏😎

Thank you for reading! Writing does seem to help get those negative feelings out of me.

Yes indeed it does feels good to release all that built up angry and anxiety with the suffering of the pain and hurt scars that seems that they will never heal trust me I know what you mean I have my own demons that goes unheard and unseen but I let them escape from pen upon paper respect brother poet 🤛🙏👁
