Trapped

by Letty   Sep 21, 2006


I don't want to come off as being
crazy, insane, or just totally mental.
But I feel misplaced, misguided,
and almost sacrificial.

I know your wondering at my choice
words,but I don't feel as if I belong.
I feel like a vehicle spinning out of
control because someone steered
me wrong.

I feel like an innocent lamb placed
before the unholy to see. Placed
there so that they could ravish my
body, and my flesh they would
roast to eat.

I'm trapped between two worlds, my
own world and theirs. My door mat
reads welcome home and theirs
read beware.

I only speak the truth, the full
blown facts. My words are meant
for those who smile in my face and
then stab me in the back.

They try to take everything from
me. Everything that I can give and
even things that I can't. I'm then
sent on my merry little way without
a by-your-leave or thanks.

But this bus stops here. There are
no more free rides left. Its time
for me to take control and time to
take care of myself.

No longer will I be trapped in their
wicked little maze. This is my life
for me to live . ITS NOT A CHILD'S
BOARD GAME!

    Well done, Letty. This poem was sensationally good. It was very sad, but the meaning and deepness was there in every line.
    The set-up is somewhat different but i liked it, and it flowed well, grammar wasn't too bad.
    Keep writing, my friend
    love and best wishes Tara-Kay

    Ouch
    Letty you are very good at hitting nails on heads and expressing the feelings

    Friends can be a pain in the a*se sometimes and as you rightly say they are quite willing to use and abuse because of your friendlyness

    A terrific poem AGAIN wow

    5/5 (Should be more)
