Trapped


Do you know the feeling?

you are looking, searching
high and low
for that important key
of which you can not leave
without
retracing your steps of when
you last held it
used it
the key to get in
the key to escape
where has it gone?
without it you could not be here
perhaps you are meant to stay...
Trapped.

  16. I think keys appear in the strangest of shapes. Sometimes it's up to us to fashion our own keys. I don't think anyone is meant to be trapped. Do you, really?

  17. Kay! I could perfectly relate this lost key to the women in my life. They were the key transforming me into an utopia; they were the lost keys, in different instances of my life, tethering me to the sorrows.

    You succeeded to express yourself :)

  19. I used to teach with a girl who was always losing her keys. The psychiatrist told her it was very Freudian, very sexual!

  20. Life is so dynamic...even when we feel trapped we truly aren't. But we all feel that stagnant sense sometimes. This too shall pass, no?

  21. So true. We're always searching for that elusive key that will unlock the doors that we think will save us.

  22. this poem trapped stole my breath for a minute,
    kay. hmmmm...maybe we find the key when we
    can handle the experiences that await beyond
    the door. hmmm... I wonder can there be such
    a thing as benevolent captivity.
