Trapped Poem by Minnie Gehrig

I feel so trapped,
crying in my room like a lost child,
perhaps ive been crazy all along
and its just some sharpened point,
some jagged sliver
some sane piece of this broken mirror,
showing the true reflection

anxiety wracks my whole body until I feel shrivled up and
exploding all at the same time,
I dont want to be alone in this place, this dark cavern of my own mind,

all the crooked smiles of the brown eyed boys have faded,
there freedoms are gone now tossed aside,

my soul begins its ticking, in it feels like grandmothers clock,
N my feet pace to its sure rythym,
my lip[s are remembering that poem emily wrote, but my heart remembers you,
and my eyes are brimming with so many tears,
but I am alone and you are not here to hold me.....................
