Trapped Within

Have you ever felt trapped within?
trapped with only hate and pain,
don't know the difference anymore between a fantasy or reality?

How can I break free from these chains that tie me down?
they only seem to get heavier and heavier by the day.

I feel as if there is no way out.
these chains cut me at day and make me bleed at night.

Confusion dwells over me.
mixed emotions play fiercfully in my heart.
I cry for help, but no one hears me.
I reach my hand out but theres no one there.

I feel as if I'm sinking in quicksand it gets deeper and deeper
by the day.

I keep searching for a way out, but I can't seem to find it. I must keep trying for if I sink, theres no way out.
