HIDDEN DOORS

Hidden doors
8-20-24

Old wooden doors hide the Imagery

Of the very real torture and the imaginary

Of all my hearts pain and torment

And my intrusive thoughts that play every moment.

You’ll run through the halls searching for an exit

Hoping you’ll find some relief, a way to end it.

Behind each door you’ll see a monster darker than before

Each nightmare that you will abhor

And the anxiety you long to ignore

The madness that turns your depression manic

A pain so searing you can no longer stand it

The turmoil that leaves your heart drained

And your sense of self, ever strained

You’ll smile and scream in pain at the same time

And your personality you will never find
