My Poem about how I feel inside

My heart is not beating

My lungs have quit breathing

I’m trying to come up for air

My soul is on fire

But I have no desire

And there doesn’t seem

To be anyone there

I can’t find the exit

The way to escape

I am trapped here

And there is no where to go

I am looking for questions

For the answers seem simple

But there is one that I seek

It haunts me and burns me to know

Why am I held prisoner in a cell

Without a lock, key or a door

And no matter the pain or the hell

I find in my search for freedom once more

Places to look in our world do abound

But the peace that I pray for cannot be found
