Trapped In Me (2003) Poem by David Joel Rodriguez

Secrets keep me inside
Like my soul is to abide
It hurts and I feel torn
Let me out so I can be born
All these days I try not to fight
All these years of hiding in a lie
I know someone can see through me
Thinking they can set me free

Where is this person that seeks
Just come forward to hear me speak
Trapped in a mist which easily fades
There is a person which comes to my aid
What's my suffering?
What is out there for me?
I know someone can see through me
Thinking they can set me free

Why do I run from me?
Why won't you let me be?
What is it that they can't see?
Why is it that they can not see?
Why is it that they don't see?
I'm in misery...

Look...I'm almost there
just when I get there
The light is nowhere
This thought of my soul
pushing me back to this hole
Secrets living forever
Secrets making me shiver
Secrets giving me fever
I know someone can see through me
Thinking they can set me free

Why do I run from me?
Why won't you let me be?
What is it that they can't see?
Why is it that they can not see?
Why is it that they don't see?
I'm in misery
