caught

by

caught
somewhere between happy

and sad
out of control
lost along the road
swimming in circles

in the big broad sea
begging for guidance
pleading for aid
crying and screaming

to an empty house

a shut door

a locked window
the lights won't turn on
the gas won't light
the doors are locked

from the outside in
turning around and

around
falling to knees

elbows on hard wood floors
running and up

and down stairs
caught in a trap

created by my own

actions and thoughts
cannot trip the snare

without hurting myself

more and more

caught between who

and what I should be

and what I really am
stuck with glue on

my shoes
taped to the floor
kicking and screaming

with no one to hear
caught by my own designs
