Trapped
I am locked in a cage in the middle of a labyrinth with the entrances sealed and the exits blocked. This cage is my depression, my parents, grandparents, teachers, peers and my labyrinth are my 'friends' at school.
I dance in this never ending masquerade
always hiding my true self from the people around me.
I want out.
I want to move to antoher country where nobody knows me.
somewhere I can can be free.
I am ready for change.
I love some of the things here but it's time to let go.
It's time for a new beginning.
These chains that bind me are eating away at my flesh.
Everyday I am gettin worse and worse.
I am only spiraling downward deeper into the darkness.
There is no light anymore.
I have no heart.
The only things I feel are sadness, loneliness, and sometimes anger.
The person that I was is no more,
she has long since gone with the wind. She has vanished.
There is only a pile of dried up skin and bones left.
I am a walking, unfeeling, thing that for some odd reason is still in existence.
I am falling to pieces,
I am too far gone,
I am a lost cause.
