Unknown, lost in a world that I can't <br /> <br /> <br />understand. <br /> <br /> <br />Like a life long inmate, trapped <br /> <br /> <br />in a prison van. <br /> <br /> <br />The real me, my soul is trapped in <br /> <br /> <br />my body like a bad song stuck in your <br /> <br /> <br />head. <br /> <br /> <br />Seldomly, I invision myself better off if I were <br /> <br /> <br />jumped and left for dead. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Can't tell whether I'm coming or going <br /> <br /> <br />Knowing part of me is missing. <br /> <br /> <br />Tryin' to get back on good terms with <br /> <br /> <br />GOD, but he does'nt seem to be <br /> <br /> <br />listening. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Trapped behind an invisible door, no possible way <br /> <br /> <br />out. Wanting and needing my blessings to flood <br /> <br /> <br />but instead my blessings are in drought. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />So discombobulated, want to talk with family <br /> <br /> <br />but it's like they don't even know <br /> <br /> <br />who I am.They treat me like a child and <br /> <br /> <br />refuse to see that I am a man. <br /> <br /> <br />I know they want what's best for me and I <br /> <br /> <br />appreciate that but when I try to get a <br /> <br /> <br />few things my way I get fussed at and called a 'brat.' <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I want better for myself. I want to <br /> <br /> <br />look in someone's face and <br /> <br /> <br />honestly say 'everything's fine.' <br /> <br /> <br />It's like I'm walking on <br /> <br /> <br />cloud 7, But I'm seeing cloud 9. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />So if there's anybody out there that feels me, <br /> <br /> <br />that knows what I'm going through. <br /> <br /> <br />If you think that you're in the boat alone, trust me <br /> <br /> <br />I'm right there with you.<br /><br />Jamal Brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trapped-89/
