Trapped in a World

A Poem

By Leigh ClawarPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Trapped in a world all of my own,

Walking a path far and alone,

Missing my steps and tripping away,

I fall and stumble each and everyday,

I feel at a loss with nowhere to turn,

My bed, not slept in, the candles still burn,

I wander lost and nowhere to go,

No place to feel special or to grow,

Contemplating why I have to feel this pain,

What is in my future that I am to gain,

If I choose the path on the right,

I might falter, stumble in then blight,

If I choose the path on the left,

I might be robbed and a feeling of bereft,

There is light at the tunnel, that's what they said,

But days I want to just lay and cry in my bed,

The sun always rises, a new day begins,

Just forget yesterday and fade away your sins,

But I sit here and wonder what I did wrong,

And do I still consider if i can belong,

When dreams are big and vast in size,

We tend to grab, falter and blind our eyes,

With all this said you might think I am filled with sorrow,

But in the end, life goes on after tomorrow,

So I leave you with these words to caress,

Keep believing in yourself and that you are blessed.
