Slave Poem by Luis Steven

All these feelings bottled up inside
In the confines of my mind
Who knows what you'll find

Am I a prisoner to my brain
A slave to my pain
An empty shell is all that remains

I got nowhere to go and nowhere to hide
It eats me up inside
Washed away by the waves in the rising tide
In the battleground of my mind

The war rages on and it's hard to resist
I'm plagued by the questions marked by 'what if? '
I'm haunted by the chances I didn't take
I'm taunted by the words I couldn't make
