Trapped Poem by Melissa Joy Chesky

I'm trapped in my cavernous mind;
It goes on forever and eternity.
It keeps me here like a
Sullen prisoner;
Imprisoned by my
Childhood fears and
Memory beyond
My own reasoning.

I'm trapped in this world;
This world that's so pointless.
I was convicted of being
Myself;
Now I pay the price,
I guess.
The colorless walls are
Filled with empty words,
Not full like normal.

I'm trapped in this war;
The war is me against
The world.
I stand alone in this
Battle.
I look over to the
Other side;
Emotionless eyes,
Expressionless faces,
Mocking smirks.

I'm trapped in life;
Escaping from this is
Impossible to do.
I'm locked up,
They won't let me out
To be free,
Free from you,
Free from them,
Free from...
Everything,
Detatched.
