&quot;Life&#039;s like a novel. With the end ripped out. The edge of a canon. With only one way down.&quot;<br /> -Rascal Flatts (Stand)

I am here
Always the same
We do not cheer
Do not play a game.

we sit in silence
All alone
This is a dungeon
Not a home.

I will stay
But not too long
The walls built sturdy
But not that strong.

They will break
I will be out
Then I will run
Have no doubt.

I wont be alone
We all will leave
I will get the freedom
I've longed to receive.

I guess at this time I was very frustrated both at hoe and at school. I guess it made me just feel trapped.

I love this poem. You are an amazing writer, this poem gave me chills. It flows perfectly and i understand how hard it can be at home sometimes when you just feel trapped!
