My Chains

July 23, 2018
By Anonymous

I open my eyes to the desolation on the walls,

no color,

no expression,

no life. 


No will to live, 

So I take my pills,

To never get out of bed,

to go to my mental prison instead.


My thoughts mentally cage me,

it shows me all that I’ve done wrong,

And makes me feel my regret and sorrow.


It’s like I am running in place,

there is no where to hind,

no where cry,

no where I can’t be charged.


I let my thoughts take me in,

Painful and bitter.

Lost and numb.

Rejected by myself.

Sad but hidden by my mask.

Covered to hide from you.

Crying and still invisible. 


I am NOT invincible.

I am so sorry to hear that you are hurting. I understand how much those shaming thoughts can ache. But I promise you, you are beautiful and chosen and worthy of love. You were created flawlessly in the image of God. He will never stop loving you, never stop calling you His. I will be praying for the pain inside of you. You are not alone.
