Help I'm trapped,

held behind the strong bars of my fear,

locked in the cell of my consciousness.

Help I'm hidden,

shrinking away into the depths of my soul,

drowning slowly in the layers of my heart.

Help I'm scared,

I am being held prisoner within my mind,

sentenced to death by my brutal insecurities.

Help I'm alone,

locked away with but one cellmate,

locked away with only my thoughts as company.

Help I'm being held prisoner.
