Trappe Poems | Examples


List of Member Poems

Somehow we survived

Who knows when life will just turn around to the unknown and all you feel is you being in an unknown world.
Crying out for help but all you see is darkness

The pain strike like a knife.
Trappe inside an empty cage.
In the darkness I was found with
Aching of a heavy heart.
I had to endure the pain and 
Forcefully face reality.

I'm sorry that I have to tell you this story.In many things I have lied,
I did as these are done.
In a cold grave I was lane,
I was nothing but cold
Breaks and stones decided to block my way.

I sometimes felt my chest closing up.
I tried to focus on the outside world.
I felt like part of me is missing and I wanted to live in the past.
I missed being a kid,
Being my father's princess off course.

"Change is painful,
Yesterday I wouldn't have spoken 
But today is different"
My head tells my heart.
That's when I saw the light again.

Premium Member Arjuna, 21st Century

Trappe within my skin, 
trapped within my life.
I live each day within
the same parameters
of responsibility.
I do right
no matter what.

I've done wrong
believing it was right.
Such constrictions, 
such borders, 
leave me no outs, 
no excuses.
I want to explode, 
but suspect implosion
will be my lot.

Where do I get relief
within the boundaries
that I set?

Take a cleansing breath, 
embrace the rules,
embrace the borders
do your dharma
