Outside

by Cathy   Jul 14, 2006


I look out my window and want to see
The world outside thats surrounding me
But I'm trapped in this prison from dusk till dawn
I can't remember the outside cause its been so long
My skin is so pale no color to it
my bones are showing I have to admit
My eyes have circles black and round
Cause Its been so long since I slept safe and sound
I look out my window its just a crack
I wish I can have my freedom back
In this tiny prison they call my room
It feels more like a closet or even a tomb
When will I get the chance to see the outside world surrounding me
When will I see the sun
When will I be able to run
when will I smell the scent of rain
When will it wash away my pain
I guess I'm stuck alone to pray
I know if I'm loud enough I might see that day

    I like this poem a lot. I think it is kinda different from the other stuff you write but perhaps linked in some way? I dunno - think its a terrific write anyway. I love it.
