Trapped inside

Ana2024 2 days ago

How i wish to be free

From this cage that holds me

And my mind that controls me

And my thoughts that scold me

I’m overwhelmed 

I’m trapped wanting to escape

But I’m blind looking for the way

There’s nothing left

Nothing left that I can see

It gets so hard to breathe

My mind and thoughts

They won’t let me be

I feel so hopeless

Like I’m trapped inside

Inside of my mind 

Inside of my brain

I don’t know why I’m feeling this way

And there’s no escape

I feel so unsafe

I’m dying slowly and I’m trying to see

But I’m blind and my mind controls me

Hi Ana! It is such a lyrical and moving piece! The struggle is so vivid and clear, almost like imagery. The feeling described through each line strike deep. The will to escape slowly fadind gives a sadeening and heart breaking touch. It is melancholic and transforming! <3

Such a desperately sad and bleak poem. It made me very sad to read it. I hope that it's inspiration is pure creation, for I would hate for anyone to feel the sort of depths the poem describes.

Then I hope that at least writing the poem brought catharsis. Thank you for sharing it with us. I look forward to reading more of your work.
