Anxiety
This darkness surrounding me,
Filling my soul,
Blocking me from feeling free,
Anxiety begins to grow.
Outside the world is waiting,
For me to open my door,
All the while I'm debating,
Fear filling me to the core.
Anger at my solitude,
Frustrated with invisible bars,
Constant, are my eyes glued,
To the window, passing cars.
This battle is draining,
As I slump into my chair,
Success in me is straining,
But here, I can breathe the air.

Poetry: Being trapped
by Terrence Aym
The Box
Trapped in this box,
With a wheelless car.
Trapped in this box,
With a shattered star.
Trapped in this box,
It seems awfully
I thought you should know
That I don't know where to go
My heart is torn in two
And no, it's not because of you
I'm trapped
When we were together, I felt like I was trapped
I worked so hard to hide it, all my strength was sapped
Slowly, I felt myself
On this Earth, I am bound
Trapped by gravity, to the ground
I look to the sky, and wonder why
My confinement here still apply
Being trapped
she is trapped,
she was married young,
pregnant at 18,
three more kids after that,
she never thought she'd feel
