TRAPPED

The melody in my heart turns discordant

My tears freeze midway down my cheeks

To my flesh I've now become a servant

And my mind with immense sorrow, leaks.

Pain is a constant visitor

In this damned body of mine

Guilt, ever so sinister

Charges me a heavy fine

Anxieties like large, flesh-eating termites

Crawl up my every opening

Feasting greedily on my insides

Dear Lord, what is happening?!

Must I stay like this forever...

Dining with images of my fears?

Must I, Oh Abba, again shiver

At the memories of past years?

NO!

Do not let go...

Hand me back my sanity

And save me from this death i'm locked in

For I am trapped

Trapped

... in my own body
