The monster in my mind
I’m tumbling
I’m falling
down an endless ravine
I’m drowning
I’m trapped
In the same old routine
Can’t run
Can’t hide
Can’t escape from my mind
Tears me up
Hurts me
Eats me inside
Can’t open up
without being judged
All feelings numb
I’m constantly drugged
It’s a constant war
In me
Everyday
Life’s upside down
Everything is grey
I’m helpless
I’m weak
Weight of the world on my back
Only a matter of time
before I crack
And die
Death
My only escape
The clock is ticking
No way out
Only a matter of time
before the candle blows out
I’m lowering the curtain of life
ending my strife
All the world’s a stage
All men merely players
Last scene of all
time’s finally up
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Well done Julian. Beautifully written. Would like to see more of your work. Keep it up and keep it coming please.
This is so good! Love the rhyme scheme, and the short lines right after each other… the poem itself is very intimate and you have shown your most vulnerable thoughts, congrats for posting it!
