My Mind Is A Prison Poem by Ambermia Smith

I feel a throb within my heart
It feels like my whole world is falling apart
I feel like i can't think
My mind is a prison i can't escape

I cry at night sometimes
I am tired of telling people I am fine
My world doesn't seem like it goes around anymore
My whole body is aching and it's sore

I'm tired of hiding my cries with a smile
I wish I could let it out every once in a while
I smile outside but inside I am slowly drowning
People often ask me why I am always frowning

I smile because I know that life goes on
But sometimes I just get tired of living the same old song
Yea life but why can't I get over it
I am tired of feeling pain even if it's only a little bit

I need to climb that hill and see what's on the other side
But I always stay behind that tree alone to hide

I have had a lot of nightmares about death
They are always of me taking my last breath
Life is hard but I gotta make it through right
Shouldn't I go down putting up a fight
