I am a prisoner of my own mind.

People ask me if I'm okay and what has gotten into me today.

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for either of those questions.

My thoughts are going a million miles an hour.

I can't think straight, and my emotions are my cage.

Music helps a little bit but not much.

My emotions are so crazy that even the happiest songs on my playlist make me want to cry.

I want to curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out, however I can't.

The tears will not come, no matter how badly I want them to come.

I am a prisoner of my own mind.

My thoughts are the iron bars that keep me trapped.

And my emotions are the guards that actually don't care about what is going on.

Apparently bottling up emotions and keeping them away from everyone comes as second nature.

I don't know what to do and how to escape.

I am a prisoner of my own mind and I'm not sure how to break free.
