TRAPPED

TRAPPED

From where I sit

On my bed

At the world

Outside I peek

Wishing I were

Outside looking in

Instead...


For in being so

I would see

My own  stark

Reality!


A mind bubbling 

With creativity,

A heart

Bursting with 

Love to give...

A soul longing to 

Break free!


In a prison

Of glass and stone

I love

With not just 

Lonesome 

But abuse too

For company...


Such I'll get 

Companions

For no one

I wish

None deserve

This!


My heart, it hurts

With every 

Abusive line

And word...


My mind reels

From harshly spoken 

WordsQ

While my body

It staggers

From the invisibly

Inflicted wounds...


Fear is in me

Who shall

Protect me?


So, from my spot

On the bed

At the world I 

Look out...

Wondering if ever

Someone from the 

Outside will, look

In on me

And from the shackles

I have written of

Set me free...
