Best Trapped Poems

Escape from a world of unhappiness and sorrow
Days and weeks pass and I realize that I despise this cold hole

Let me be ...

Trapped not only within those four dark walls,
but with the elements in time and place

Let me be ...

Tears that makes you feel completely...

Since a young age,
I've learned how to see 
beyond the darkness -
but what has become of me?

Surrounded by blackness
and eerie silence,
gasping for air,
I can't move,
feeling lifeless and helpless.

What is happening to me -
is this paralysis of sleep  
or a lucid nightmare.

Cramped for space
placed in...

My spirit and soul are trapped in this vessel of flesh. They scream to escape and to be liberated and soar on the breezes of life. To frolic freely among the trees, among the clouds and to run without weight and care.

My spirit and soul...

I have the heart of a poet
Trapped deep within
The soul of the beast

Everyday I get up
And put on my dark
Bureaucratically correct uniform

I turn off my soul
Put on my phony smile
And my plastic ideas

And go forth 
To do battle 
With all the other soulless automats 
The...

Flightless Birds Trapped In A Gilded Cage.
.
Fledgling innocents incarcerated in a gilded ornate cage
Budding pretty flowers 
Within the blossoming of youth
Of tender sensitive age
. 
Born into an imperial dynasty
By destiny and decree 
A view from a palace window
To the outside world
Was all they’d often see
Far...

I don't want to be
here.
This place tortures me.
My heart is heavy
and in so much pain.
How can I reach you?
You own my heart.
My dreams are no
longer pleasant.
How can I reach you?
As long as I'm not free
to love you. I live in
pain and agony.
As long you're there
and...

Ideas Trapped By An Inactive Mind

Your mind is hidden in darkness
Thoughts trapped in deep crevasses
Their screams echoes through deathly shadows
Attacked and strangled at their every move
The struggle against invisible shackles
Drawing blood as they fight their captor
Demons search for ideas ripping them apart
Stripped skin strewn across...

I see you walking on the beach
with the shyness of a kite,
toes gripping the sand with eyes that float
to the ends of the sea - tell me

(why do you look to the stars, love,
when we are more amazing?)

There are dreams
within dreams
in merely the sheen
of your...

I'm starting to believe ther's no such thing as love,
All the memories we've shared, I'm thinking of.

What has time done to spread us apart?
I no longer feel the perfect beat of your heart.

There's nothing we can do to take it back,
The experiences we had, have...

A peaceful dream on a cool cold night
Protection from fears and unwanted fright
Waking nightmares cast away
And happy dreams as clear as day
But what happens when there is no protection
And there's no shelter to hide
These unjust rules need be broken
Just for us to survive
Where has the...

In my dream, I saw a weeping man
Not knowing what he had done, I lent him my hand
When he reached, his hand slipped through mine
Turns out his soul was trapped in my mind.

Trapped inside 
This empty house,
I start to 
Scream I start 
To shout,
I fill like I'm
About to die,
If only I can find
My way outside,
Tears slowly fill
My weeping face,
There’s no way 
To escape this so 
Called fate,
A dark shadow fills
My room,
He's back to 
Finish what's now 
My...

Buried Alive

These walls....
they laugh at me but no one else hears
They steal the very breath of me
...but no one seems to notice
They blare a suffocating silence
Leave invisible abrasions from unseen restraints

These walls I once called home
These walls have become my coffin

Most of us run...

the fog clouds deep
my head grows clouded
as mist swirls in from above
enveloping my senses
and i wish i could just disappear.

it’s not that i want to die
i just don’t want to be here.
i just want to vanish for some time
and collect my thoughts in the void
i...
