Dying Inside Myself

Lois Collis
These walls, oh, they smother me
Their nearness, so cold against my skin
Dying deep inside myself, lonely
The shadows closing in.

The dreariness it binds me
No existence of light glowing within
and no longer do I feel
The truth buried so deep inside of me
A soul filled with wounds, which can not heal.

My breath it lingers, I can see its moisture on the
mirror
Oh, how gloomy this body starring back at me
Pallid skin, sad now the image, so inferior
The aging of my countenance, reflects no youthful glee.

Crying, oh the madness that surrounds me
The sound it echoes in my mind,
I try to yell, to whisper, to scream
But everyone thinks that I'm just fine.

Dying inside myself
How is it, that you cannot hear
Hidden deep inside thy self
I am merely but a vessel,
Of broken dreams, and maddened tear.

Dying deep inside myself
Dying over, and over again
Dying deep inside myself
Am I, my only friend?
