Trapped

~ Trapped ~

Behind a smile sits pretty little lies…
Fallen tears and silent cries…
A choice to see but never feel…
Touching with eyes becomes the appeal…
Soft words spoken I can barely taste…
Stranded inside a box where only fear is embraced…
I sketch a window to set myself free…
Only to realize I’m trapped inside of me…

God I can relate, the fear is of my own making but none the less it is its own cage. I always love your writing, thank you

This is a very effective write, you should change the title to Window Pain.
