Trapped

I am trapped , I have been in this same spot before, a self made prison 
Search for a moment of glory and peace 
Trapped and tormented, no peace in this  crippling cell
I can't move , paralyzed by fear
My soul cries out 
The voice in my head speaks loud,noise is all I hear
The inner man struggles  
The war within is never ending 
Death is an open door ,my only freedom 
I pray to feel the sting of death in my feet 
I pray for this peace
