Poems for the Mad

Save me (trigger)

Trigger: hints at a heavy topic that I would prefer not to mention by its full name. Read at your own risk.

This maze needs to end eventually.
I feel like a fly who got caught in tape,
Stuck,
A dog in a kennel,
Locked inside,
A cat in a tied bag,
Suffocating,
A lion in a cage,
Out of place,
A mouse in a trap
Trap
Trap
Trapped
I can't escape
I can't obfuscate
I can't move
I can't breathe
You're going to get me
I don't want you to get me
We don't belong.
Stay away!
Leave me be.
"Don't be scared"
Then let me free!
Someone help me;
Someone save me.
I'm clawing
I'm gnawing
I'm trying with all my might to get out,
But it's like you're holding the top of the sack I'm stuck in,
It's dark
It's killing me
I can't breathe
I can't think
I can hardly move.
Please get me out
Someone for the love of God get me out!
Let this cat out of her bag,
Release this lioness from her cage,
Rescue this locked in puppy,
Save me
Save me
Save me.
