Icebox Poem by Jacque Hardison

I'm trapped inside
Feeling so cold
Losing self pride
Not making my statements bold
Can't get out of this icebox
I'm scared to death
The devil on my left shoulder talks
Telling me to scream until my last breath
The angel on my right shoulder
Tells me to ' Stay calm I'm here to help! '
As I get older,
I learn about myself
I learn to melt away my troubles through communication
Expressing how I feel to someone who understands through socialization
