Damaged



I feel as if I'm falling apart...I feel like a caged animal in my sadness. My demons are scratching to get out and my mind and appearance is a mess. I feel as if I'm falling down and never-ending tunnel of darkness... I am damaged. I try to pull it all back together but I'm too damaged from my heart to my head. I yell everyday in my head I'm okay but I'm damaged.
