"Trapped" by Jenny (Jeni) Watson

Alyre’s Soul.

Dancing and twirling and twisting and turning.

Deep inside I can feel my spirit burning.

Screaming from silence, and crying lost tears.

Though showing to no one the demons and fears.

…

Stuck deep inside… my mind.

As if my fates been signed.

…

Clawing, and tearing -trying to break free.

But all of these voices keep talking to me.

Yelling at me for all my imperfections,

Reminding me constantly of the Rejections.

…

Safe deep inside… my mind.

Where hope has never shined.

…

Gasping, and aching, and crying, and screaming.

Not even safe late at night when I’m dreaming.

All of the night terrors free in my visions.

All having a say in my every decisions.

…

Thriving Deep inside… my mind.

Where they keep my spirit blind.

…

Praying, and Hoping, Fighting and Bleeding

I can feel all of my sanity fleeting.

Losing all memory of what I once was.

Falling through darkness as nothingness does.

…

Locked deep inside… my mind.

Where redemption cannot find.

And truth is never kind.

Hidden deep inside… my mind.
