Outside, wait, I'm stuck within,
can't feel, can't breath,
tight spaces enclosed
around my thoughts,
squeezing, holding, gripping,
tighter, harder, holding strong
I soon must give up,
and there I lie
curled up and dead,
dead from lonely confusion,
rejected from a harsh, cruel world.


September 30, 2000


I tend to exagerate my pain and this is from a while ago, don't worry

i like all the short words and repetition of them in this poem, also the desperation factor is neat

  We all feel like we are trapped sometime in our lives. Pain is such a real feeling and it's hard to deal with it. No matter who you are everyone will go through some type of pain in their lives and it's different for everyone.This poem was very touching and keep up the awsome work.

Lake, this is a really great poem. I can really relate to being the outsider, but I can't always say that I long to be inside. You describe your feelings well, however. Thanks for sharing this great piece.

This is a wonderfully written poem.  I can really relate to it.  Sometimes this world can seem to big and overbearing to take on alone.  You did a great job of expressing this sence of helplessness

Exaggeration is necessary at many times.  You pulled it off in this piece, your pain seemed all that much more real.  
Well done.
