Confined
I felt confined
In a mental cage
With dark thoughts
And moments of rage
The silence was deafening
As I laid in my bed
I could not help but wonder
If I was better off dead
How did I get here
What can I do
How do I get back
To the life I once knew
I had deep thoughts to ponder
Emotions to bare
A long road to travel
Until I get there
So I started my journey
One step at a time
I took all my failures
And just left them behind
In a mental cage
With dark thoughts
And moments of rage
The silence was deafening
As I laid in my bed
I could not help but wonder
If I was better off dead
How did I get here
What can I do
How do I get back
To the life I once knew
I had deep thoughts to ponder
Emotions to bare
A long road to travel
Until I get there
So I started my journey
One step at a time
I took all my failures
And just left them behind

Author's Note
It is totally ok to hit your rock bottom. It is not ok to stay there. Feel your emotions and acknowledge them. I was in a homeless shelter for 9 months. I am no longer homeless and I just want to give hope to those going through it.
