I wish I had a cigarette
Some food would be nice too
A drink or three to wash it down
And something to abuse
With every step I take
I take each step alone
The box above my head
Is not much, but it's home
And everything I've had
Has all but left me now
The God my mother told me of
Is a wolf that's on the prowl
In every way that could go wrong
Has gone wrong all the way
The drugs I push into my nose
Have held me here at bay
I'm trapped inside my head now
With nothing left to do
But lay, and sleep, and crawl around
And think of thoughts I knew

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
