Trapped
Trapped with nowhere to go
Lost, Sprinting through an endless jungle of my mind
Fighting without a purpose
I wonder who I am but all I see is nothing
My mind goes blank as my hope goes away
The night above me has no stars nor moon
Trying to find myself is impossible
Wondering why I'm still fighting myself
Wishing for it all to be over
I see a light at the end of the forest with a person in it
I think I’m dreaming but I’m not
I get a last bit of hope
Just as the last trace of light goes away
I collapse, barely breathing, without an ounce of hope
I have no chance of survival
I think about the life I have had
All the fear and hate, the troubles and blame
And I feel like I have failed myself
Then, just as life is slipping away, I see the man walk up to me
He picks me up and carries me to safety
I can’t see his face or what he is wearing, but he is tall and skinny
He tells me not to worry, but to just relax I’ll be fine
I put down all my worries and fears, all the hate and blame
Now I feel like I have a second chance at life
This time I won’t fail myself
I have survived myself
