TRAPPED

Here's a poem I'd like to share with you.

TRAPPED

I’m trapped I’m in a box I need your help
But I can’t talk I want to run But there’s no way
I need your help I am afraid I cannot breathe
There is no air I need your help

I’m really scared I close my eyes I’m in despair
I need your help But you don’t care
I hear your voice Why do you hide?
I need your help I’m going to die
I open my eyes And gasp for air

The room is dark It’s the same nightmare
I’ve been having it for days
Maybe even weeks It feels so real
I’m afraid to fall asleep I sit up in my bed
And wipe the tears from my eyes
If it’s only a dream Then why do I feel so empty inside?

My eyes feel so heavy I’m falling asleep I can’t!
I must fight it! It’s no use, I’m too weak
It’s dark, I hear voices I knew I should not have fallen asleep
I’m back in my dream I need help, set me free

But wait something’s different Is there something more? I can feel I have hope
My escape is a door I reach out to open it
I try hard, but it’s locked I need your help,
I’m afraid I am trapped in a box.
