Trapped

Have you ever felt like you can’t move?
That’s me
I’m trapped in my chair
I am buckled in from my chest to my feet
Why? Because I can fall out of my chair
I want to scream
I want to cry
I want to yell
But will anyone hear me
Or is the world to busy
No guys will date me
Because of my disability
I have friends
But they live far away
So I’m trapped
Sometimes I feel like I am alone
I feel rejected
My dad’s in heaven
My sisters are busy
So who pays attention to me?
My niece Siira
My pca Dale and Tami
My mom is always busy with her boyfriend
So I am trapped in my wheelchair and body
I hate it
But I manage
I know the trapped feeling will go away
But right now that’s how I am feeling

very expressive, a little bitter sounding, though that isn't a bad thing in poetry, emotion is one of the most important things when writing poetry i think.

Minna,

When one uses their mind to express their
feelings the way you have, they do not
remain trapped for long.

Welcome to Passions! We are so very glad
that you've found our little home of blue
walls and great friendships, not to mention
some fantabulous poetry and prose, plus lots
of those who participate in some very insightful
discussions and theories.

Please, check your email for a Very Special Greeting!

Hi Minna & welcome to passions... you know, if guys wont date you because of your disability, you are better off without them..I am sorry that you are so afflicted however, you more than make up for any physical limitations by your obvious mental agility. Your condition I assume can be seen, the minions that would not take you out to dinner are far more handicapped that you ever could be...I would have no qualms with taking you out to lunch, you paying??   Stick around and have some fun with us in here, we don't get out much either! ( However,in my case it is because I'm way too ugly & would put folk off their dinner ) Cheers,  John

Minna83,

I really like your work.  You are truthful, and honest.  Two essential attributes a person must have if they are to write effective poetry.

I'll be looking for more of your work.

Bobby
