Trapped

Free verse poem.

I'm trapped

I don't feel like eating but I eat my dinner, feeling numb and scared

I don't think I will be able to sleep at all tonight, feeling awake and empty

Her voice haunts my mind, the insults, the sneering laughs

She will be my demise, I can feel it

Her mocking slowly eats away at me, bit by bit

I am a mess, I'm in distress

I am trapped in a downpour of misery and can't get out

Not my best work.

so much emotion in such little amount of words. don't let people get you down be who you are and if they don't like it, they will get over it. good write keep it up.

I understand this piece quite well. If this is about an eating disorder, I'm going through it as well. I hear the voice every now and then...telling me not to eat when i'm not hungry, not to eat when I am...craving to stay empty because I don't admire the feeling of being full. It's a very stressful and scary addiction...but it exists and it's up to us to figure out the outcome and pull through.

It's scary when we feeled trapped within ourselves and can't escape it any way. Is this possibly about an eating disorder? If so, I understand because it's partially what I've been dealing with...I hear the voice telling me all the night not to eat food when i'm not hungry or when i am...i'm afraid to eat in front of people because of their looks and possible thoughts. It's a very stressful and scary addiction...but it's there and it exists. It's up to us to figure out the outcome of it all and to pull through.
