Trapped By Law

Trapped By Law

A Poem by Anaya
"

you'll never understand.

"

So close but so far,

Is exactly what the world is to me.

I’m trapped in an unbreakable cage that prevents me from being free. 

No one likes to admit I was born here, 

And that my attempts for momentary joy only prolonged my stay. 

Smile they say.

But I can’t, and they know why.

They know all about my secrets, which is why they ask me to keep them inside.

Because who wants to hear about my gloom, in a world where we were taught to play. 

I drag my feet on the floor. I've come to the conclusion this is not the world I wish to explore.

At least not in these chains and shackles.

Me against you is my least sought out battle.

You control me like a puppet, and I have no say for it’s the law.

Isolating me is not good, in fact it is something way worse than wrong.

For my only escape was music, but now you won’t allow any songs.

I wish this world would come to an end.

Then I would let my little broken soul choose again.

This life is not for me.

This is not who I am.
