Internal Hell
by: EJ

I'm living a private life,

Thats an internal hell,

My soul is on fire,

But no one can see the flames,

And the demons within me,

Are ripping it into pieces,

On the outside,

I seem perfect and content,

But I am really,

Struggling to stay alive,

The screaming comes not from my mouth,

But from my heart,

These screams pierce my own ears,

But they fall silent to an ordinary person,

My interior is a blazing inferno,

No one sees the flames,

Cause my eyes are glazed over with ice,

The darkness within me is taking over,

The world might never know,

What goes on within me,

The darkness can hide everything,

To the world I will appear happy,

But I'm really living in an internal hell.
