Trapped


Growing up sucks in this world

Having pressures to be perfect

You try to get away from it

Clear your mind and run away

But you still have that voice

The one in the back of your head

Telling you that you'll never be good enough

No matter where you go

It'll always be there

And trust me when I say

There's nothing worse

Than being trapped in your own mind

Hey I'm Kelsey! I love being outdoors especially if it involves riding horse or fishing! When I'm not outside I'm usually listening to music, working on the farm, and occasionally writing poems. (:
