Trapped

A melancholy cloak of clouds

Suffocate my mind

Glimpses of light tease me

Just to be overtaken by dark thoughts

You throw me a lifeline

But no matter how hard I try

I can't escape this hole 

My feet are stuck in thick mud

My hands too sweaty to hold on 

And I keep falling deeper 

Inside my own self

Trapped under layers of concrete

I poured myself

Locked away in this steel cage

And I lost the key 

Unable to escape myself 

With no where to run 

Except deeper within the shadows

I dream of wings

And flight
