    Afraid to talk...

    Stuck Inside Myself

     I pace back and forth in my gilded cage.
    Peering out through her eyes.
    My eyes.
    They don't feel like mine anymore.
    I watch people around me.
    Crying. Yelling. Blaming me.
    I feel nothing. Empty. Hollow.
    But the bars are solid.
    They hold under my desperate struggles.
    So I sit. And wait. 
    My face a frozen mask. People react around me...
    But
    I
    Remain
    Hollow....

    Sometimes its just like standing in the median while a traffic accident is going on around you. There can be peace in hollowness, and calmness there too. This piece is a good expression of feelings and at least one way to cope with chaos. Write on.....Tlady
