On the Inside

Trapped somewhere
Exits blocked by fears
All senses distorted
Lost in the dark

At first numb
Now able to feel
The hot puddle I stand in
Of freshly cried tears

At first deaf
Now able to hear
The pleas to start over
The cries for a second chance

At first blinded
Now able to see
Everything around me
Looks like everything I hate

At first confused
Now able to realize
That all of this is me
On the inside
