Trapped

The air is draining and I can no longer find a breath. My eyes are closing as I fade to my death.

I wake up, my eyes become wide open.

My mouth is ready to speak but no words are spoken.

Frantically, I look around my once private room

to see people watching me, waiting for me to begin my doom.

 

I realize I'm trapped in a cage like an animal

as if I did something that made me a criminal.

Their eyes are filled with joy while they watch my pain

and I open my mouth to try and say something again.

 

All I see is a cynical boy laugh with ease

and his parents usher him out like I'm some disease.

I am trapped in my own grey world

while everyone around me has dangerous smiles that become curled.

 

The audience forms in a line

yelling, and screaming waiting for the bottom of the ninth.

My breath is becoming a thick hazy mist

and just when I'm about to close my eyes, I hear a voice I missed.

 

I focus on the sound that I just heard

and saw it belongs to a person that once had cared.

His smile lit up seeing that I'm still alone

with my hands and feet in chains, so there is nothing I can hold.

 

His words spat out with the truth,

"This is what happens when you die from your youth."

I became a trapped creature that goes unloved

and nothing now can save me, not even the power from above.

 

The group around me laughs at his phrase

not even effected by my state of craze.

My sight is now fading to black

while my hearing may not come back.

 

I am trapped like an animal in a cage

waiting for someone to pull me backstage.

Instead of any help, water trickles down my spine

and now H2O will be the end to my crime.

 

I will die with no last chance

and I shall always be trapped without a dance.

I am now the prisoner of my own life

and will escape it once they stab me with a knife.

 

Trapped.
