Forever Trapped
June 3, 2016
Inside self nothing alike
Outside self happy and quiet
Inside It's a struggle
Outside smiles everyday
Nodding and waving gets tiring
Want let it all out
Pressure to get good grades
Study, study all the time
Trapped in a cage
Drowning in my thoughts
Outside just wants to disappear
Nothing to remember
Tries to make everyone happy
Keeps to themselves
Why?
Inside is dying
Screaming to be let out
Bruises given to by life
Can’t do it anymore
Want to be free
