Captivity

The secrets that i keep

i'm scared to share with you

these emotions that i feel

i hide beneath fake smiles

the real me i'm forced to hide

because no one would understand

no body could see the countless dreams

the nights with little to no sleep

the scares hidden beneath my sleeves

will anyone ever want to know

the real and beautiful me?

I feel so completely alone

the darkness closes in

I feel shadows holding me down

I feel solitary in life

someone out there, somewhere

at least one person has to care

There's got to be somebody

who wants to unveil and unlock

my deepest of emotions

the most intense of insecurities

if you are that one....

please break these chains that hold me down

I won't survive this captivity

Wow. This is really well-written. It's rather really rare to be able to stumble upon poetry such as beautifully worded as this. You have talent at not only capturing my attention but also at allowing me to really be connected with the writer itself. Good work, keep it up.

Longing to be loved can be such a hard struggle that we feel trapped inside, held captive by our emotions , needs and wants. Have patience the right one will come around, and when they do it will be worth the wait. Good luck to you, hope you find your soulmate soon.

Your stronger then this, although this is similer to a few poems I wrote. I believe in adapting, and one must adapt and evolve over every obsticle in life. This poem is good though, I like it. The flow is more my inate nature :) then agian, I am the Incarnation of Darkness (Symbolic Metaphore), I was born alone in this world so I can percieve the darkness as a benefit, and not a curse. I had to adapt, I believe you will find your light.
