An Addict's Tale

Bang!
He struck his cage
with complete rage.
His enclosure could not be escaped,
no matter how hard he scraped.
Trapped in his own mind now,
or maybe it wasn’t his...but how?
He was
            shaking,
                       aching,
                                breaking.
And although no physical thing concealed him,
he was isolated,
from himself.
Who was this?
Who was this monster he found himself hidden in?
Soft, pale skin,
piercing blue eyes,
swelling with cries.
It looked just like him,
but with much more grimm.
He trembled with unfamiliarity,
desperate for clarity.
In a daze
only black haze.
He couldn't find himself.
Shuttering in fear,
this new person,
it was clear,
was him.
              A liar,
                     a monster.
Glancing into his imaginative mirror,
only weakness appeared.
He was gone,
but yet still here.
