Something Breaking
Almost fading
Slipping away
Into what seems like yesterday
Darkness shatters
All light
All happiness
Till it's only a memory
I've seem to have lost all faith
All hope in morning
Lost sight of what I was searching for
I feel so broken
People slip away
I watch them fade away into shadows
Distant memories
Now just glimpses into the past
Every thing feels so lost
So uninviting
So reckless
And unnerving
I watch as the world progresses around me
Thriving and continuing on
People living their lives
Going on like nothing is wrong
I feel so lost
So trapped
I feel like I've been put into a personal nightmare
And I'm the main character
That if I really were to watch my self
Fade away, that it might happen for real
I feel doomed
So apprehensive
But would you do me a favor?
Just don't remind me that what's happening is real
Cause I would rather dream this reality
Than live it

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
The page won't load
Some ad banner somewhere isn't coming up and the page just won't load or something else isn't right
Under the ice
the water is so cold it burns
with illusory warmth.
Under the ice
I have become mere flotsam,
caught and held
