Trapped

This game must begin,

We're slowly falling in.

We need to find a way back,

Away from this strange place.

The doors are sealed shut,

Windows boarded up.

Times running out,

But no exits can be found.

No cheats were created.

No help available.

It has to be figured out somehow.

Time to think how to escape.

If only there were instructions,

If only it was real,

Then it may be easier to work out.

I think that we all have that place that we think that we cannot escape. That place that we think is unbreakable, but we have to have trust in the fact that no situation is actually unescapable and realize the power that our attitude and that our minds have. It was a very good poem and you are talented. Keep writing!

Thank you very much :), and that is good advice, we are all stronger then we think :)

A good view about being trapped... at times the doors and walls are just that barriers... if you can create... then in turn you can make a key to open the locks of the doors which hold you back... if they are walls then you must break them... and tear them down... Life is not given an instruction book... you decide how that will be... no one else can... everyone has a brilliant mind... you have to open it and release the potential...

Another great review thank you, I like that about making a key to open the locks, if there's any barriers then there's always a way to get passed them :)

i think that you might want to alter WAS instructions to WERE instructions...I sort of liked this because of its ambiguity....and secrecy....We all get trapped in one way or another in a whole variety of ways

[Emily W]
