Peer Pressure
A life of lonely time hidden behind closed doors.
My body is free to move where it pleases
I am enclosed in the layers of my skin
Drowning in the words that I think but my body refuses to say.
I am enclosed within my heart and my head
My voices are loud within but silenced on the outside.
My fears are obstacles.
My soul is dying with every breath my body bares.
With each fake word I say my heart breaks a little more because,
My true self is trapped in deep space.
The space within has no way out No windows or doors
The walls are thick as the walls around my heart keeping me from being me.
I scream but it's hard only within the room I am trapped in.
The person keeping me here is me.
My body is free to move where it pleases
I am enclosed in the layers of my skin
Drowning in the words that I think but my body refuses to say.
I am enclosed within my heart and my head
My voices are loud within but silenced on the outside.
My fears are obstacles.
My soul is dying with every breath my body bares.
With each fake word I say my heart breaks a little more because,
My true self is trapped in deep space.
The space within has no way out No windows or doors
The walls are thick as the walls around my heart keeping me from being me.
I scream but it's hard only within the room I am trapped in.
The person keeping me here is me.
