Lonely Forbidden World Poem by Lizelle 'Leasel' Martins

What happened to me
Trapped in a lonely forbidden world
Can someone just hold me, and tell me it’s going to be okay
That things will eventually work out
But things never do
Not for this all forlorn girl

Every day she play this happy role
Smile, laugh and be cheerful
But no one knows that she is broken inside
She has all these walls around her
To protect her from
Pain?
Loneliness?

She is afraid
Afraid to break these walls down
Cause you might see
Her heart...Agonized
She is defeated by this world
Defeated to even see everything good supposedly out there

I am amazed at her strength every day
She has become so numb, to even feel or know anything
Other than hurt

Is it selfish of her to want to leave
Leave this world and maybe just maybe find a better place
A much better place than this trapped world
A world where she will belong
Can this be the death of all hopes for her

What happened to me
Trapped in a lonely forbidden world
