Trapped

TRAPPED

 

Here I am again, the place I always seem to be

How'd I let myself fall so far, how did this come to be??

I've always stood on mountaintops, so proud of who I am

now I live a life of nothingness, it all is just a sham.

The darkness overcomes me in this dungeon of dispair

There are no tricks to crawling out, I'm TRAPPED, it isn't fair.

I thought that this was love and I gave it all I had

Now I'm living with a stranger lying in my bed.

My pain echos loudly off the wall of this abode

The twists and turns life sometimes brings, oh, how was I to know.

I hear my childrens voices echo phrases of regret,

I know they mirror what I feel and I haven't told them yet.

They sense it in my face, in my voice, in my tears

How can I let them see their mom waisting all these years?

For it is I who sets the mark to teach them how to love

I hide my eyes so they won't see the greatest cover up

How can I live triumphant when I'm trapped inside these walls?

I hope that they are not around to see them when they fall.

Then, I'll be trapped beneath the rubble that was once my happy life

Is it then that it all ends or the beginning of the strife?

I don't have the answers, all I really know

Is I'm TRAPPED in this prison with no other place to go
