Heather Crismond Poet Free verse

Is Anybody There

Every day it's harder to get out of bed
To find the person I used to be
The person I am meant to be
Where is the talkative outgoing confident woman
She was here just a moment ago
I'm sure of it
Do this
Don't do that
Don't raise your voice
Don't say that
Don't think that
My freedom taken from me
Was this what I agreed to
I don't remember signing on the dotted line
My emotions on trial
My tears apparently against the law
Put a smile on your face
Don't you know you should be grateful
Must I sell my soul for a roof over my head
Swallow my protests 
Till I'm ting out sunshine
Cause that's all you want to see 
I'm so tired
Exhausted
I pray for a reason to wake
So far I have yet to receive a response
