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.
