The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I once looked inside myself

I turned away from the lids and lashes

but all I saw were hurts inside me

the scars and bruises, cuts and gashes

 

I tried to lose myself in my thoughts

to escape the world, and it's canopy

but then in trying to get back

I got lost in my insanity

 

So now I sit here, insane and blind

no world except what's within myself

and I am trapped, I can't speak out to you

and you can't hear my cries for help

and isn't that almost worse than the original cause of the cuts and bruises - being locked in your head with it all?

I really like this poem, I think it is the simplicity of form combined with the complex emotion of being trapped in inablility to escape from the inner pain....

 

I tried to lose myself in my thoughts

to escape the world, and it's canopy

but then in trying to get back

I got lost in my insanity

I especially was moved by this stanza, b/c I feel the same way, too, sometimes.
