Trapped,
I am trapped in
Trapped between two wide expanses
Of Ocean.
Soaring above me
Unknown species
Waiting for their
Next meal and
I know
It's going to be me.
The hunters of
No man's land,
The desert between the
Vast expanse of water
Beside my
Dwindling feet.
Dreaming of a
Paradise
Which I cannot have
For fear of
Awakening something
Unspeakable.
I can't imagine
The terrors I'd face
If I were to awaken the
Thing I most fear.
Quietly,
I close my eyes and
Imagine the things which
I'd love to see but
I know are
Impossible dreams.
And I cry
And I dream
And I can't help but think,
"What else could possibly go wrong with me?"
And so
I scream aloud
A silent,
Diamond like,
Shimmering tear
Falls from my cheek
And reflects the
Glistening moon of
Midnight stars.
Another falls,
Then another,
Then another,
Until countless tears
Form a pool
Of utter sadness.
I scream in agony for,
How could this have happened to me?
How could I have become so weak?
How has no one taken the time to
Help me?
Lonely,
I cry,
And
Lonely,
I sing;
For what else have I
To do,
Until somebody
Helps me?
Thus
My life ends
And I will not lie,
It was a saddening story.
