Stranded and strangled

Plagued by feelings
Overwhelming emotions crash over me
Suffocated by questions that live inside of me
Tired of the flowing tears that just don’t stop

Standing alone
At a cross roads that I didn’t want to be at
Chilled to the soul
With no idea which way to take
I stand stranded

Waiting for somebody to lead me
Take me where I should be
Away from the questions
Away from the sound of chaos in my own head
Away to a place where I can just be numb

Running away from faces, sounds and my own shadow
I fail at it miserably
Capturing myself even more
Smiling for people
Speaking just to make my presence felt
I cage myself with each new person, each new voice...
