Trapped
February 8, 2009
Trapped
I'm in and open hallway,
The ceiling high above my head,
The fluorescent lights flicker...
over and over, making my head spin,
People gush out of their classes,
oozing around me.
They're just mindless chatterboxes,
immune to out locks and cages,
I gulp in the infested air,
the oxygen suffocating me!
The door is right in front of me-
my free-ticket to life.
I need to get out, and-
my hand twitches on the knob,
but I cannot make myself open it...
I'm trapped.

I like this, it seems so true like a real situation and so calming.

I could feel it in a way...
Keep writing!

You made me jump into the situation. I could understand the emotion. Everyone feels this way!

This was a wonderful poem! I felt like I was "trapped" too, with all the great imagery!

I love the imagery in this poem. The teen years are supposed to be the "best years" but I feel you describe what every teen feels at times - trapped in a situation which we can all identify with. Fabulous!

I really liked this poem! I think I even liked this one more than the other one, and I LOVED the other one! Keep on writing poems, you are AMAZING at it!
