Trapped Within

Trapped Within

A Poem by Luuucy

I am trapped within myself

In my head’s perpetual cave 

Trapped by what’s familiar 

The things that comfort me

There is so much in the world

That I wish to know and see

But I’m here stuck with myself

The one who’s stopping me

I’ve watched myself

Out of body

Doing such courageous things

But then I’m sucked back inside my head

Back to doubting me

My imagination is expansive

What I can do, who I can be

But I am not that person

I have never been that free

People say “Don’t ever change”

And I know they mean it well

But if I were to listen

I know I’d hate myself

When I know that who I am

Disappoints me everyday

When I picture who I want to be

Then let her slip away

I got to a point where I forgot that I loved to write, and thought that I had to change that. It's therapy for me, but even better if it can inspire others. more..
