Escape Poem by Zoby Cristal

Everyone is outside
Laughing and playing
But i just sit here degrading
Listening to music
To make the pain go away
I wish i could be someone else
In a different time
I want to let my light shine
But how can i
When i'm trapped alive
Sitting in a room
Planning my demise
I'm not a poet
But i'm writing lines
Hoping the pain will die inside
I try to channel my emotions
But i am filled with this devotion
I want to escape and sour the sky
But i'm trapped in a place i despise
The outside place i can't seem to reach
Now it's crumpling at my feet
No one can understand who i am
I guess i'm no one looking for a way
A way to make my jail break.
