Trapped

teardrop

Feeling trapped within these walls
as I stumble with each fall
I try to hold my head up high
so no-one ever sees me cry
But in my mind I scream with fear
painting pictures very clear
Please tell me this will go away
for it can't always be this way
I often wonder if it's me
it seems that no-one else can see
pain which dwells deep in my soul
holding tight, not letting go
Yet, these scars which I wear
tell a story I now bare
Scars I know can never heal
reminding me this is real
Tomorrow is another day
and as I stumble on my way
these voices screaming in my head
are silent whispers now instead

    You convey your emotions so well teardrop in your lines. No one knows the inner pain and scars that others have to endure. One can only hope that time is a healer. Wishing you a lovely day.

        On the positive side, if the screaming voices have now become silent whispers, hopefully that means you are the right road. A very honest and emotional poem well written.
