Trapped

I feel trapped in this world, there is no way out!

I feel trapped in your words, why can’t I get out!

I feel trapped everywhere I turn.

I am trapped in my dreams and in real life.

Why can’t I get out? Why am I trapped here?

I want out!

When I am with you, I feel, as I do not need anyone, just your comfort.

Even though some of your words or actions make me feel trapped.

I feel like a caged animal. Trapped from freedom, people look and walk away. I am not an animal! I am a person! I need someone to help me get out of this trap!

I cannot believe I am trapped, SOMEONE HELP Doesn’t anyone hear my cry?

I guess the only thing I can do is stay trapped until someone comes along.

Monster

There is a monster lurking within everyone, there is a monster deep within. When I go back into the past, I can see the monster within you. It has taken over your heart and left it cold as ice, dark as the midnight sky.

I wonder if I will ever be a monster like you. I already see a monster within myself, but I will never amount to you. I made a promise to myself and I will not go down to your level of horror.

I may still love you like as if you will never know, because that is how much of a monster you are! You have said that you have changed but I know that your monster is hiding until the right time to jump out.

The monster within me may still be young, but I know your weakness. My monster will over power yours mentally. I may lose physically but it is not over until you are gone.

If you are lucky, I will control my monster, which is something you could not ever do. You have always been a monster and that is how I will see you! A monster!

Life goes on

If I go back in time, I think of the pain I went through. I thought it would be forever, but I found out life goes on…

I may be on the look out if it will ever happen again. I wish it will not, but it was an everyday thing, but life goes on… .

When you left, I thought I would not find anyone. I thought I would be alone forever. I told myself that is life. Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry, life must go on.

Regardless life carries on and nothing can hold you back but yourself.

Dust your self off and carry on. Because life goes on.

Afraid

You are afraid of the past, present and future. The past hurt you everyday, every night. You were always living in fear. You were afraid to sleep. Too afraid to go home after school. You were always afraid.

In the present, people tell you you’ll be fine.

‘What do they know,’ (you think to yourself). They never went through what you did. You always lived in fear and somewhat still do. You are afraid it will happen again.

You get nightmares of the past. You tell someone and they laugh. It is not a laughing matter. You need to feel safe. You try to think of the future, but you always think that the past is going to get you…

You start having your nightmares more and more. You know you can control them!

They cannot hurt you anymore. Take control and change the way you feel. All you should think about is the present and the future. Stop worrying about the past and concentrate on your life now. You do not have to be afraid anymore. Just live your life and be happy. Take control of everything in your life then you will not be afraid to
