I've never written a proper poem before, if you can call this proper, so here it goes: Have you ever? Have you ever felt so enclosed And forced to do what is 'preposed' Bashed about Messed around The painful memories To which you're bound Have you ever had your soul deranged Your actions, mind and heart encaged Your feelings, worthless Just thrown about You shall never be left alone. Have you ever felt your sanity derailed Your life strung out, your circle impailed Sentiment exposed No past erased You wait to die The future is mazed Far past the extent of all reasoning Have you ever given up with trying Emotionally, physically and mentally dying Slashed Gashed Torn apart You can't go on Let life depart Mind, body and soul awaiting The peace that was never known
