Trapped inside

I’m trapped inside

I’m all alone

No where to hide

A tall glass box

For the world to see

Who you are

And are going to be

Lost in your own head

That veil between

Your thoughts and dreams

Lost between the lines

Like an oblivion

Tearing you apart at the seams

Spare me the agony

I want to be free

My box is a cage

My thoughts are lost in

The oblivion that is my life

Hopeless to fight

But fighting anyway

My fists are raw and pained

On display high expectations

Chances lost roads not taken

Colored in bleak shades of grey

Worries and fears leave me shaken

Sleep abides elsewhere scared off

By the oblivion in my dreams

That veil between

Your thoughts and dreams

Lost between the lines

Like an oblivion

Tearing you apart at the seams

Spare me the agony

I want to be free

My box is a cage

My thoughts are lost in

The oblivion that is my life

No way to defend

Against its darkness

Devoid of thought and feeling

People running backwards

Stuck in reverse forever

No answers just more questions

No lies but no truth in anything

Knowledge is lost to every season

Lies upon lies devoid of reason
