Trapped

Jacqueline Ortega, 21 How are you?

A never ending story

Do you want the truth? Or should I lie?

In my own mind

You won’t want to hear the truth…

In this world there are only broken promises

I wonder will it scare you away?

Children with hopes

Hmm I rather not say.

A completely shattered view From those who wander around

Is this real?

Wander in a world of their own

The pain in my chest won’t go away..

NOT reality...

My mind is a mess. A buffer from the world in isolation

Within the safety of their own minds

I’m trapped..

Dangerously in too deep Shutting all the exits behind them

Save me from my own skin

My soul is deep in the dark

Who am I?

What good does it do to reach?

Not myself..

I’m locked inside my brain

Not anymore

What is reality?

Only I have the key.

I don’t know.

Where? The pandora box in my heart Filled with unwanted memories
