TORMENT I'm alone, how can I break these walls? Guarded by doubts, keep me away from optimism Lighted by torches with the flame of pessimism Through vague lights, I saw nothing Only me who's confused with everything. Negativity is a leech in me. It sucks the real me and degrades me like an elf. No wonder I am easily deceived, By those people, I truly believe. I was imprisoned since the last many years, In the cage, I built because of my fears. Fear of expectations, fear of disappointments. Living with them feels like a torment. -mariagioia-
