Trapped

Come inside the great divide 
And risk your only chance
The door is open come on in
It's peaceful at first glance

An open book that you mistook 
For something you could read
The lines are written faster now
Your easy to mislead

You scream and shout "please let me out" 
But no one hears your cries
The door is bolted to the world
And the ceiling is the sky

The walls of air are clearly there
With no pictures of any kind
There's no way to free yourself
When your trapped in your own mind

Mmm... very nice write Steve. I'm sure that many can relate to this. I can feel panic and anxiety conveyed through your words. Keep up the good work.
