Wanderlust

by jessicaamonty

I am trapped
I am stuck
I wonder why
I hear their scoffs
I see my flaws
I want out
I am trapped
 

I pretend I'm whole
I feel alone
I touch my tassel
I worry not
I cry out
I am trapped
 

I understand nothing
I say "soon enough"
I dream big
I try hard
I hope always
I am trapped
