Trapped

by Bluethebard

I feel around me in the dark, 

A wall, two walls, three, then four. 

I’m in a box, 

I cannot escape,

I’m shouting, screaming

Help me!

But no one hears,

They’re trapped in their own boxes.

Call me Blue, its what my friends call me. I'm an aspiring poet with small dreams and a big heart. I tell only my story, try to make it interesting, but forgive me if i bore you.
