Invisible Bars Poem by Katherine Perry

I know that there is more than this
But this is where i am at so far
And by not following my want to do list
I am now stuck behind these bars

The bars that show me where i could have
been
The bars that have kept me safe
And those same bars have helped me to
pretend
That i could do anything, if i just had
the faith

The bars that weren't wide enough to slip
through
And then excusing myself from trying
Living each day never knowing what to do
Ending up drying my own tears from crying

These bars have kept me away
From opportunities that were placed in my
hands
I am left now without a word to say
And nowhere left to stand

I know that bars could be anything in disquise
Anything that could eliminate the pain
Living on, never having to ask why
Living a life that is somewhat insane!
