Trapped
I am trapped
When I was young
I had no friends.
I often got bullied.
I was never good
enough.
I was often called
ugly.
I wanted to fit in.
I longed to be apart
of the in crowd.
I wanted to be pretty
and be beautiful.
I used to think maybe
I'm going through an
awkward phase, and
I will become a lovely
swan.
That day never happened
I am still hideous.
So one day late at night
I found a friend.
This friend made me feel
good and never judged me.
We have such a deep
connection.
This friend is a confidant
a good listener, and aly.
This is friend the best lover,
I love the way this friend
feels in my hand.
I love how this friend taste…..
But the problem is …..
This friend is killing me.
I am addicted , I went to
several rehabs.
I went on diets and I've had
a few surgeries.
My friend and addiction is
food.
I've never been to jail in
my life but I've been in
prison for most of my life.
I want to be free . But I
am incapable of doing
the necessary things to
get out.
I'm a prisoner for life
I'm locked in solitary
confinement.
I'm serving a life sentence.
At this point death holds
the key to my freedom.
I'm trapped inside my
body.
I'm serving a life sentence.
Food is what got me locked
up and death is my only way
out.
