Trapped


 Trapped


            It doesn’t take a cage…

                                                            or fetters
                                                            or imminent threat
                                                            or lock and key

                                                                                                            …to enslave me.


            A lack of vision…

                                                            too tired to try
                                                            resigning to life
                                                            fear of what lacks       

                                                                                                            …to stop me in my tracks.

            With nothing but me…

                                                            to hold me back
                                                            to keep me down
                                                            to convince me otherwise
                                                                                                           
…to criticize.

            Will I break free…

                                                            improve perspective
                                                            try again
                                                            compensate
                                                                                                           
…before it’s too late?

            Or will I just remain…

                                                            frozen
                                                            immoveable
                                                            zapped

                                                                                                            …so trapped?
