I'm trapped
I'm trapped in this wilderness of mirrors
And I can't get out to save my soul.
He has me.


Wall after wall I can only see myself.
Is this what it means to be free?
Am I only as Free as He wants me to be?
What can I do
Save me
Save me


You can see me
I know you can see me.
You watch me like a Cheshire cat.
All I can see is your face and your grin
You watch me through your looking glass and laugh at my act.
My life to you is a comedy most sad.

But is there love in those Cheshire eyes?
Little poem I did during my creative writing class (no it was not the assignment we were watching a movie)

It started as a dialog actually between Axel and someone else about how trapped he feels out in the world.
Who is "He" and who is watching him? I wonder.

Cheers.

edit: Sorry but I had to change to name and a little text.

This really grabbed me. I don't quite know what it was . . . but great work!
