I

Am trapped

Trapped

In this body

This soulless body

I

Am screaming

Clawing

Thrashing

I

Am trying

To get out

People say

That I'm different

Depressed

They say

But I

Don't

Care

Because I

Am my own person

No one

Not mom

Dad

Sisters

No one

Can tell me

What to do

I am

My

Own

Person
