Locked Away

I tremble and shake

Ohh god my back aches

Restless days sleepless nights

With only my fear by my side

For my dreams are plagued

I am stuck in a room

With only a mirror for

My eyes to consume

I look up and the glass breaks

My hearts beating faster

And at some point it just stops

For behind the mirror

Are the kids

Filled with hate

They tease and mock

Calling me names

I see a younger me so afraid

I run and I run never getting far enough

Their voices fill my head

I lie on my back and all I see

Is one singular star

I stare for awhile and soon it

Disappeared but in its place

A little girl appears

A beautiful girl getting mocked and teased

And I soon realize she’s me

I look at the mirror and kids

No longer are there

I look in my eyes

And I see a lonely girl

Who never learned

How to let anyone in

Because she locked herself away

Along with her pain
