Trapped

Trapped.
With no way out.
In a box.
Six sides deep.
Six sides low.

Trapped.
To look outside.
At all of them.
Smiling behind bars.
Made of killing doubt.

Trapped.
Inside my worries.
That lurk in people's shadows.
People that in pain do weep.
People down-hearted and blind.

Trapped.
Anxious to escape.
This long journey I see.
I'm ready to take off.
Ready to leave now.

Thanks to all of you guys....

Erin ~ You're the sweetest! Thanks for the great comment. Where has Jeremy been?? I haven't seen him around since the dawn of age. Have you gotten ICQ to work somewhat?

Jose ~ Thanks a bunch....but I guess this isn't a place where I can't leave. I guess the poem tells you I'm trapped, but to me it's the people outside who are trapped. It's a confusing though. I'm behind bars looking at these people and all my fears are coming true, but to me they are the ones in trouble and I'm the outsider looking in. I might be ready to leave and go out there like all of them, but still I'll always have that box, that traps me in and holds me down. Do u kinda get what I'm talking about? My minds an absoulute jungle, you have no idea! Thanks for commenting.

acrie ~ You have absoulutly no clue, how much your comment meant to me. I've never been called a writer directly and it's a great feeling. Thank You!

LyricFetish ~ LOL Thanks for the comment "Lyric"...I'm down with the L-beat...love yo songs sis!

This is a wonderful piece. I know the feeling...  

I hope you are able to free yourself soon. Keep up the good work!

The funny part is that I totally know what you are saying. My mind isn't a jungle though, I would call it more of a desolate desert. hehehe a maze actually describes it better. but anyways, your poem is totally great!! You truly are a very talented writer! Keep it up my dear. Love Always~*~Jessica~*~
