Tired and Trapped


She's tired of the let downs,
She's tired of the disappointments,
Weary of the life she lives,
Weary of the everlasting toil.
She wants to give up,
She wants to break apart,
But something inside her tells her to keep going,
Something tells her to push forward.
She doesn't know why she keeps going,
She doesn't know why she doesn't stop,
She's lonely and afraid,
She's compressed and trapped.
She's screaming on the inside,
She's crying when no eyes lay upon her,
It's a never-ending question,
It's a sword to the throat.
