Ugliness Inside

Everything within me is broken;
my scars are on the inside.

 

My thoughts suffocate;
my mind is a prison cell.

 

Sentenced to solitary confinement,
condemned to reclusivity.

 

There's a tornado in my head,
swirling rage seeps from pores.

 

Emotions take control
and I surrender to them,
a slave to where they take me.

 

The darkest parts of me
rise to the surface
like a toxic vomit.

 

My spitefulness spews
like a violent brew
concocted deep within.

 

It poisons everything around me,
as all flee in shock
of the ugliness inside me.
