Trapped Inside The War

(Poetry)

Have u ever been?

Trapped

Not able to move as you please

Unable to unsee all this death around

Truthfully I’m sensitive

I want to be an artist

I want to paint the most beautiful strokes

I wish I could write music & dance the day away

But I’m trapped inside this war

I freedom dream often

Playin my sax on the beach

Writing poetry as sunsets glow golden

But I can’t escape the violence

Have u ever been?

Trapped

Not able to move as you please

Unable to unsee all this death around

Have u seen their eyes filled with hunger?

Have u ever decided your life is worth the price?

I dream often

Each time all our bellies are full

I can’t stop myself from seeing the war

Maybe that’s why I feel so trapped

So I find myself serving

Hoping 2 prepare our troops

Maybe that’s why I pray we win

Maybe that’s why I fight so hard

So that all these freedom dreams

Won’t have 2 seem so far

Have u ever been?

Trapped

Not able to move as you please

Unable to unsee all this death around
