Binded

I shut my eyes tightly so I don’t see

The wrongdoings I will do to me.

I hold my ears hard so I don’t listen,

But still my insecurities win.

I fail to shut out the voice in my head,

The one that haunts me as I lay in bed.

As it fills me with worry

And crushes my dreams,

My greatest enemy is myself,

It so painfully seams.

I attempt to break free but my Efforts are ill.

The fear holds on and binds me still.
