Trapped

Never meant for this to happen to be sealed and presently fasten. I hear others around me talking hardly can I see objects or people walking. Laying in bed as if it was a cocoon people say this is home this one room. Can’t move my own body parts only hear the sounds of people and carts. The world is going on outside my door hear only about people’s lives as they walk across the floor. Trapped inside my body like a shell even though on the outside and the inside I can feel. Speaking I can not only sounds only within my mind I am bound. Food shoved or crammed in my mouth but I’m feed at meals treated as if I have no mind there’s no big deal. Years now have slipped away still I only have my thoughts day by day. People have nothing to say for I am only a body and a job each in everyday. A wish I could be in your shoes the days wouldn’t be so blue If it was only you there would be plenty of things I would do. I would sit and talk by your bedside let you know about the weather the world on the outside. Share moments of laughter and tears so your life wouldn’t be empty through the years. But that’s not going to happen I am sealed and presently fastened. I have only myself to you I am like an object on a shelf.

Sandra, are you at a different poetry site? Because you left your poetry here at the Soup when you left us. Come back if only for a visit. Love, Carol
