Help! ! Poem by Connie Leigh Lindsay

I am trapped in this prison;
forever to scream but never heard.
Is there no way to escape this place?
This place of nothing but pain.

I can see life going on through my two windows.
No one seems to know I am here.
Does anyone care that I am gone?
Did anyone even notice?

I am screaming to get out, to be heard.
Why can't someone hear me?
Am I dead or just forgotten?
I need someone to notice me again.

Am I really not that important?
I used to be to you.
Do you even miss me?
Have you even noticed I'm gone?

I miss my life or what it was.
Will I ever get it back?
Am I stuck here forever?
God, I hope not! I want to be free again.

Can someone help me, PLEASE? ?
