“Trapped” by Jaqueline Ortega

Trapped

Jacqueline Ortega, 21

How are you? Do you want the truth? Or should I lie? You won’t want to hear the truth… I wonder will it scare you away? Hmm I rather not say.

Is this real? The pain in my chest won’t go away.. My mind is a mess. A buffer from the world in isolation I’m trapped..

Save me from my own skin Who am I? Not myself.. Not anymore Only I have the key. Where? The pandora box in my heart Filled with unwanted memories A never ending story In my own mind In this world there are only broken promises Children with hopes A completely shattered view From those who wander around Wander in a world of their own NOT reality...

Within the safety of their own minds Dangerously in too deep Shutting all the exits behind them My soul is deep in the dark What good does it do to reach? I’m locked inside my brain What is reality? I don’t know.
