Trapped

Rain plagues the world outside
I am corsetted in
By four white walls
And tethered by coarse, tight ideals
A scream of protest
Lies lodged in my throat
With the escape exit blocked
I peer out the window
Wanting to melt in the rain
Wanting to disappear
Nervous fingers type nervous words
Sorrow primeval and deep
Crushes a heart of mesh and lace
I imagine true happiness
I fail
At Life
Everything about me
Doesn't correspond
I try to fit in
Only to stick out more
And jagged rainbows
Are tattoed on my face
Am I cup of beauty
Or a chalice of disgrace?

Oh such beauty in all this..you are a wonder my friend
how far you took me away.with your pain and sorrow
being outside this world wishing to blend with the
rain dripping outside ,only on the inside a great burden
of likes and what he and they say..they choke me
i want to live ,i want to laugh,but the wont let me
want tto feel happiness and return the call
but i just wont fit ,they will not let me fit in
so i draw back inside..feeling all the disgrace
what beauty and utter loveliness
so much life in this pain and sorrow
so much happiness want to come out..pity
lovely write..
