where my heart is

0 posted 2006-05-29 09:09 PM


Im trapped in a hole so far down I can’t see up to the opening,
Or it’s right there and im too blind from focusing on me to see.

I’m sorry for being so far from the light,
I didn’t know what was right,
I didn’t know I was this wrong,
I just kept digging past the bottom.

I’m trapped in a box that I don’t know is tightly surrounding me,
Or there’s no box and my thoughts blocked it all away from me.

I’m sorry for running away,
I didn’t know how to play,
I didn’t know I was breaking the rules,
I just kept getting past the laws.

I’m trapped behind a wall not knowing what im trapped from, I couldn’t see,
But I know I must get past this wall to get my life returned to me.

I’m sorry for not being me,
I didn’t even see,
Who you wanted me to become,
Where you wanted me to go,
I know I should have known.

I’m climbing out of this hole,
I’m leaving this box, letting it go,
Im knocking down this wall,
And I’m going to live this all,
Live this all for what you knew I would be,
What you knew I could be – me.

Hey forever*wishing,

This is a very interesting post.
It is not what I usually expect when reading the first post by an author.
I liked it though, it was unique, and in many ways I can relate to this poem, to the feeling of being trapped.
The name is just perfect for this!

Anyway, welcome to piptalk. It is nice to see a new face around here, and I hope you will like pip

Great first post, I can’t wait to see more from you

Hey, I think your friend gave you the wrong web site this should be posted here: http://100-poems.com/poems/teen/
Honestly this is an excellent poem.
I’m also new so it may be rude for me to greeting you....but welcome and keep posting your masterful literature.
