Trapped

Caring dove

Trapped 

stuck in one place 

wants to fly with confidence 

have wings 

be like a butterfly 

but feels stuck in life 

lacking the confidence to go to places she wishes 

stuck 

sighing 

wishing for confidence 

but struggling in the mind 

so lacks 

what some others 

may take for granted 

 

just wanting to feel normal 

just wanting to feel confident

    The mind is the cocoon from which butterflies of confidence metamorphosize and emerge with wings to fly. A lovely write

      Sorry you are feeling this way, Caring Dove. A haunting poem, hope seen but not able to be grasped. It reminds me of the King who built the Taj Mahal. Before it could be finished, he was arrested by his son and put under house arrest. He was put in a room he could not leave, and the window view he had was of the Taj Mahal. Within view, but unreachable...only able to see from a distance the tomb of his love. Not sure why this reminded me of that. I guess because there is a tragic nature to being trapped, able to see what you long for, but never being able to obtain/attain it. A powerful write, friend. Keeping you in my prayers. 🌹👏❤️‍🩹

        It is sad to either be trapped / or feel trapped
        Thankyou so much for your supportive kind words

        It’s a difficult to feeling to have

        I think sometimes our own feelings can make us feel trapped in ourselves or In life

        Thankyou

          Good read. At times we all feel stuck but helping others will help to get us unstuck.

          it [confidence in self] will come one day - and it has to be grasped, and not allowed to be released
          enjoyed the beautiful poem
