Trapped Poem by Tiffany Baldwin

My body is numb all I can feel is my heart,

The thoughts in my head are sour and tart.

Starring off in a daze as my thoughts become void,

Every part of me as a person has been devoured and destroyed.

My body feels tired, I feel like my soul needs to rest,

I feel the blood bleeding out with every beat in my chest.

From the outside looking in, they see weakness, sadness, gloom and quiet.

From the inside I can't see out, I'm having delusions of my emotions in a riot.


The terminal velocity of the hurt that is causing so much ache,

I've been made to believe that I'm the serpent that ugly cold blooded snake.

I feel trapped inside this body, oh what I would give to break free,

To swim gracefully like the dolphin, and just become me.
