Trapped

Trapped

Trapped in the tangled mess of my mind Strings of thought running ramped Tying themselves together in a strange bind Trapped by the shortness of my breath Hyperventilating as no air is enough In and out, in and out, feeling like death Trapped with the tears in my eyes Hot like fire cascading down my face Overwhelmed with my endless cries My mind, my breath, my eyes Calm and release me from my chains No longer Trapped by my pains
