Trapped Inside Me Poem by Donna Saphier

Help me, please help me
Im locked inside
This shell of a body
is where I hide
I want to get out
I want to be free
Please someone help me
I'm locked inside me
I watch through the eyes
Of my deep depressed shell
I'm shouting and crying
But no-one can tell
I'm screaming, and shouting
What's this all about
Please someone help me
I want to get out
I'm living a life
That's depressing as hell
Looking out through the eyes
Of this broken down shell
I use to be happy
I use to be free
I'm trapped in this shell
And no-one can see
It's dark and it's dull
I can't stand how I feel
I want to be me
I want to be real
But I'm trapped in this shell
And no-one can tell
I'm tired of being ill
I just want to be well
Look deep in my eyes
You'll be able to see
A lovely young woman
That used to be me.
