PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I feel like I'm trapped in this life that's not mine

I've been here for so long, wasted so much time

My dream of who I am isn't really so

All the people that know me, don't really know

When did I take the wrong turn to this?

How in the world did I end up as is?

Useless time in a useless place

Why didn't I ever just walk away?

Find somewhere my dreams could come true

Instead of hoping that just the dream would do

Fantasizing about my life differently

I need to make it my reality

I'm empowered by my dream bursting through

My heart can no longer take the truth

I need to start my journey to heaven

Because i'm not getting it in the world I live in

I've been so afraid of what others would say

Why'd I let them stand in my way

Now I've grown up and I'm still here

Why didn't I try just because of my fears?

I know what I need so why didn't I do it?

I've got try now, I've got to get to it

Now as I try to start my life anew

There is only one thing left to do

I'm going to work so hard for this

But i need some help through this

God, if you hear me please answer me

Isn't that what I'm supposed to be?

I know i've messed up along the way

No doubt but i've gone astray

From my dream and my destiny

I'm ready to be all I can be

So if you could just help me out

So I can finally know what my life is all about
