Trapped

...

still pondering how I managed to fall
wondering who put up these walls
too easy to blame the people in my life,
or blame circumstance for my strife.
the simplest answer the hardest to find
would be obvious if I wasn't so blind
too short sighted to see my own fault

Thought I had grown, never expecting,
I would end up prisoner of my own.

now trapped I am, by my fall,
no escape till I break these walls.
brick by brick, the arduous journey begins
requiring strength both outside and within...

[END]

***********************

maybe i'll find out more
what I really stand for.
what I'm really like
whether i like what i see
whether i really can stomach
looking at myself in a mirror

we'll see
