Never Again Poem by Jeremy Willson

I remember when things were silent
Inside my mother's womb I laid innocent
Safe and sound without knowing sin or sadness
Without knowing heartbreak and consuming darkness
Thoughts that stab at my side like a spear
They float like stormy clouds of fear
Anxiety and panic riddle me with constant torment
Once I was birthed I was no longer dormant
Awakened into ignorance and lies
That waste my mind's space and my body's trys
Forgetting is more difficult than replying or so it seems
And I'm stuck between four walls with my souls screams
Distractions are just that and nothing more
They don't cut down to my rooms floor
I am an endless pit of spewing words and flacalence
My heart is too soft and my skull is too dense
Or so I am told by everyone outside the room
Come outside your circle of gloom and doom
But out there is where it hurts, and leads me to corruption
Inside is the sound of peaceful distortion
"I am used to it", the sadest thing I have ever said
But out there I will never go, not ever again
