I feel as if i'm stuck standing in the middle of everything, like i'm stuck in a glass box watching as everyone walks by. I can see out, but they cant see in. I'm screaming and screaming waiting for help, but no one is listening to my cries. they may see the box but don't approach it. They're afraid of the noise inside, but i'm more afraid of never being freed from inside!!!!
I was battling my depression when i wrote this poem, so sorry if its a bit depressing and all. This was when my depression hit me deep

I'm stuck, and I can't get out of this glass box I've put myself in.
My destination is so clear, yet the steps I take lead me no where.
I can see, but I can't touch.
I can move, but I can't step forward.
Always in the same place, no matter how much time passes.
I am still, in an ever moving moment.
And I am scared.
Because in this glass box I am safe.
I do not move so I do not change.
Nothing can touch me when I am out of touch with the World.
For in my own Space,
my own Universe,
my own World,
I am both rich and poor, Ruler and subject.
I make my own Laws and I break them.
I see all, yet, I don't see nearly enough.
I can fly, but only so high,
and for this reason I am free within my own prison.
A prison I can shatter with a pin, but can't even crack with a hammer.
A prison that if I so choose, can unlock, with a single key.
A key, I've had in the palm of my hand, since it's creation.
And yet, I still stand in this glass box,
waiting,
  hoping,
that someone will come save me,
because I can't seem to save myself...
yet.
