Bottled Up

Bottled Up

Sad, miserable, lonely, helpless

In my own shell

With no one caring, with no one

Giving a damn

I am on a crash course

I am on a self-destructive path

Seemingly, an inevitable fate

Fate embedded in perpetual misfortune

It’s one of those sad stories

I bottle up my emotions

I bottle up everything

They say I fear reprisals

Whether true or not

My respite is a century away I

wish I could change it

I wish I could do something about it

I wish I the earth would swallow me

I wish I were in a land far away but I am

Sad, miserable, lonely and helpless.
