freeform
Locked in a straight jacket,
Struggling to break free,
I have no escape route,
No magicians key,
Bound by the trappings,
Of life’s locks and chains,
On the verge of breaking,
Trying to stay sane,
I’ll lie here inert,
Maybe stillness is the key,
Perhaps someone will come,
To let me out and set me free,
I have no clever way out,
For I am no Houdini,
I have no great illusions,
I’m right here ,why can’t you see me?
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
repetition of rhymes is intentional with the theme.
