Untitled Poem by Deangelo Minnaar

Trapped in my mental cage
With no bars made from steel
Only scars that do not heal
With no celling
Only dreams that are too far to reach
-
Wake up from my sleep cause the nightmares keep haunting me
Falling asleep because these thoughts keep taunting me
-
People reaching out to save me but really I'm right where I need to be
So forget about me and you go be free
-
I'm trapped in a mental cage
Fighting back this burning rage
Pouring my heart out as you keep turning the page
-
Everyday I tell myself I will be okay
And the skeletons in my closet will be buried away
And it will be a brighter day
Until I wake up
And that dream fades away
