Random Poem:

life in bottle
capturedpain

My life is in a bottle, everybody tries to read who I am.
 1
They are on the outside. I only wish that someone knew
 2
  the contents within. I am afraid to let someone peer
 3
inside, for I might pour out everything and never get back the solitude I once had.
 4
 
 
Maybe I like staying in my carbonation, knowing only who I am (wishing I knew who I was).
 5
 
 
Each tear that I cry fills my bottle more, and soon I am drowning. ( I cant swim). In reality I’m killing myself, one inch at a time. Why cant the water stop filling my soul?
