Four Corners
Feeling helpless
Against the wall
Someone please show me
How to stop this fall
Seeing blind
Trapped for so long
I just don’t know
What I did wrong
This prison which
You helped me build
Won’t help me from
Feeling so unfulfilled
Even after it all
Why can’t you see
I need something more
Than what you can give me
This is my decision
It’s all up to me
Because inside these walls
I feel far from free
Swallowed the key
A long time ago
Little did I know there
Was no room to grow
Drowning above water
Air wrapped tight
I always feel
So far away from light
Where can I go
Anywhere but here
Knock down a wall
And just disappear
I never meant for this
To end this way
And get lost
Somewhere in the gray
For little did I know
What lay outside
The possibilities that
You couldn’t provide
Something wrong with this poem?
