Trapped Poem by Romesh De Silva

Trapped



I find myself trapped in an unlocked cage
Solitary confinement, I’m completely deranged
People walk by as the hours dwindle past, not noticing anything, I’m screaming
Untouched by starry-eyed beings’ dreaming
Foreseeing the way out, feeling my way around
Me and happiness made a contract verbally without sound
Body surfacing from the darkness inside
Awake before I dream asleep
Sunshine watching the retreating tide
The view beautiful from my own paradise, my beach, my life.
