Caught in a web
of haunting memories
Fighting to find the light
will I ever be free
Trapped pushed in a corner
can't claw my way out
Tears falling down
full of fears and doubts
I can see the light before me
but can't open this cocoon
Please help me someone
my mind needs more room
Each moment another
second in time
As the clock slowly moves
I slowly go out of my mind

I hope this is alright. It is how I really feel about life.

I love this write and I can relate to the pain that those sad memories leave. It sometimes does feel as if I am out of my mind too. It is so hard to understand how someone could ever hurt an innocent child and it happens even more than we know. Wishing you peace...Patty

This is amazing!
I love where you took the propt.
It's sad but I love that you put that emotion right out there. I love how you put your own emotion in the the write and took it to the next level.
good luck!

Very deep write here
It is said if one listens to the inner thoughts of the mind one could go mad .Yet we have the power to shut off those thoughts and replace them with good positive thoughts only if we choose .So smile and leave all the worry and stressful thoughts behind and start a new day and dont let anyone pull you down on the way

This is an amazing piece that you have done I often feel this way about life myself thank you for sharing with me best wishes and much love always

Some people interalize abuse and pain. You have to really take the bad stuff and just do the best you can. Very well-written, Theresa - and touched me deeply. I often feel the same way. Hang in there my love!

I used to be caught in a web, like you describe in the first stanza to your poem. You may not get out of it straight away, but you do get out of it. good luck in the contest.
