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 Steve D Crabtree
