Standing on the edge of nowhere, now where do I go? <br />The path I took to get here is hidden in the snow, <br />Now every angle looks the same, no matter where I turn, <br />How long will I stand in this blanket of snow? A thought filled with concern. <br />There’s no one here to guide me, the path is washed away, <br />What am I supposed to do, how long will I stay? <br />The snow is now a blizzard, I cannot see a thing, <br />The flakes are getting colder, and really start to sting. <br />I hate it here, let me go, I want to scream out loud, <br />I close my eyes, open my mouth, but cannot make a sound. <br />Trapped I am, in my own mind, does anyone know I’m here? <br />A prisoner to myself, feelings full of fear. <br />Frozen in a phase of time, my mind is in control, <br />Deserted me in this place so I can be alone. <br />To find for myself, the path I need to take, <br />Allowing me to make mistakes. <br />When I find the one I need <br />Will my mind help me succeed? <br />Stop the blizzard, bring out the sun, <br />Let me get help from everyone? <br />Maybe it will, maybe it wont, I wont know unless I try, <br />But I feel like I don’t want to, I really don’t know why. <br />Maybe I am happy here, hidden by the snow, <br />Maybe I am happy, not knowing where to go, <br />Maybe when I’m ready, the snow will disappear, <br />Maybe when it’s time, everything will be clear. <br />Until that feeling grabs me, I’ll stand here and I’ll smile, <br />I don’t have to worry about anything for a while. <br />Standing on the edge of nowhere, and here I want to stay, <br />Looking out into the snow, I don’t have to find my way, <br />There’s nothing that I want to do, nothing I want to say, <br />Standing on the edge of nowhere, forever I will stay.<br /><br />lindsey ashton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trapped-87/
