Trapped


Dave Oakes


Trapped within a lonely cell
Alive but not really free
Miserable every day and night
Never able to know what could be
Afraid to say or do anything
Afraid what your captors may think
Unable to fulfill life’s promises
Not knowing if you’re at the brink
That is the fate of everyone
Whose potential is trapped within
Always afraid what others may think
They are a fool or committed a sin
The only way to break out of our jail
Is to be true to ourselves first
Considering input from others of course
But not letting them extinguish our thirst
