Trapped
By Noelani
Enclosed by four walls that glare I need to find an escape To break from your menacing stare But I can't when you stick to me like tape And with each struggle to breathe open air Freedom becomes seldom, as I'm hidden behind a drape Trapped, where sunlight is rare. Held back against my will Bound to you so very tight Your piercing eyes look at me so still As if they are daring me to fight A challenge, of the mentally ill. Staying quiet keeps me sane When I can dream of the day I'm out of your reach, and free of pain I can't stay locked up, I need my own way Dependence can never gain Still you force me to stay Where my soul will continually drain.
