Silenced

When You Feel Trapped, Against Your Will

By Kristal SchlichtingPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Almost nothing is here.

Should i run is my biggest fear.

It's a dark place, but you open up.

Even if the other side is shut.

I stare at the sun to see who wins.

Wondering how they've caged me in.

I do what it takes, keep them proud.

Only doses away from being loud.

Days blended in until goodbye.

I'm finally given my own time.

I pack my things in a paper bag.

Shut the door, no more name tag.

Everyday is still the same.

Wondering what has really changed.

If you knew what I really knew,

you wouldn't judge the things I do.
