Incarcerated carnage shaking my whole being
Losing what little sanity I have left
Tick tick tick the time goes
Chasing me constant at my heels
Using sharpie to make my black thoughts blacker
A bitter frost surrounds me
Kills the fire of my disappointment
Yet leaves me in silence alone

© Eveliz V., Bayamon, Puerto Rico

Someone I saw that was unhappy in a public setting. I decided to write from their perspective.
