Trapped

Treating life as though it were a game Years go by and you still feel the same Seems to you like it's all been mapped Choices made and now you feel trapped Make a wish upon that distant star Struggle like a firefly inside a jar Once knew freedom in your younger days Reveled in the joy of your wandering ways Dream of the past as the years go by Wild and crazy, now some times you cry Joys and sorrow, success and strife All have purpose in a human life Like a summer night without a moon A set of lyrics that have no tune Some times you feel an emptiness inside Like a place inside your heart has died There's a light, on each one of us it beams if you believe they can't take way your dreams Look beyond your problems and you'll find Feeling trapped is just a state of mind When you know that your heart is true You find your skies will be turning blue

Brilliant, Vince. We do let fears make us feel trapped, but we only need to see beyond ourselves to realize that this is but a temprorary "state of mind." Having faith helps break this barrier. Love and blessings my friend, Carolyn
