Poem: I am in prison
my emotions the bars
that keep me shut away from life
I try to squeeze through the bars to freedom
but they grow bigger with each attempt.

I yell to my prison guards to help me
but they don't do anything
but tell me everything will be okay.
As they walk away they mumble words
and all I can make out is
"crazy."

That's my name to them.
Just another crazy woman inventing problems
and hiding behind them.
I want to scream and yell to them
that they don't understand
but it falls on deaf ears.

Who will free me?...
