The weight of despair upon my shoulders,
Heavy and it drags me down
Deeper into hell, I am pressed against a wall,
Solid and unshaken...

There is no escape from this place,
The gates do not open for anyone,
Least of all for someone like me...

Pacing inside this constricting cage,
All life is choked out of me
And still they want more,
Until my soul is stripped bare...

Drowning in sorrow, I hold my head high
Despite the archer's bow pressing between my ribs,
I know that I shall persevere...

Cast from veiled shadows strewn together,
I fall out of line, right from the blood soaked sky,
This is not my place, nor destiny...
No such thing as numbness here,
Hearts are filled with naught but sorrow...

The mask I wear has finally cracked,
There's no one to hear me scream...
All that I had left was taken away

All these chains hold me down,
Worn so thin,
I cannot break away...

Elegant poem this. It conjures up that feeling inside one gets when one has to do something or be somewhere, when in reality they don't want to be there, since they're either depressed or just hate the situation they're in. Either way this caught my eye and I enjoyed reading it.
