Trapped
stuck inside these four walls
i pretend to be tone deaf
stubbornly manage to ignore
the incessant dull screams
echoing from deep within
i recognize my muse trapped
crying for freedom of expression
the artist bound and ligatured
itching to be let out of confines
craving to be set free to thrash about
if i ever get out of here
splash some colors wild and loose
drawing free curves and swirls
on canvas of every shape and size
