Trapped

So much strength 
to begin a breath
Escaping torment
 in a unfit death

Inside screams, 
scream your name
Yet you continue
 to play this game

You search for answers 
You ask around
But realty smacks you in the face
Because there's no answers to be found

So you sit in denial
Hiding what's inside
Till everything becomes
What has lied

You cant overcome
What is to be
A caged bird
Fearing to be free
