The spotlight on me,

Shining dazzlingly into my eyelets.

Everyone wishes to be in this position, 

Until you are.

Mentally unstable, rickety, and wobbly,

Spiraling into depression. 

Spiraling into depression, 

No help was ever presented to me,

Expecting me to have it all on my own.

Just a young kid,

How could I act?

I never knew.

I never knew how to express frustration,

I felt alone with these thoughts

Trapped in to an internet

Social media was an easy way out

But was not safe,

It was not private.

Wanting freedom and peace,

I was quiet and hurt.

But still caught from my comments,

Police outside of the apartment he stayed,

Sad, defeated, hopeless.

From words that weren’t meant.

Words that weren’t meant

Led to prison.

All hope vanished,

Black box technology caught me.

Jabbed into a cell, 

To start a new road to recovery.
