Poetry Contest: “Stuck”

Stuck

I am stuck

I can never be free

I have chains pinning me down

I can only be the person I am

Not the person I want to be

I’ve tried to escape

But I cannot

I’ve tried to forget

But it all comes back

I long to be Orual

But I will never be her

For I am Ungit

And that is who I will always be

I will forever be bound by the ropes of who I am

Never being who I could

“Psyche Stood There . . . .”

Psyche stood there

Gazing off into the distance

She never saw such beauty

The castle was huge

As she tried for a gasp of air

Nothing came in, nothing came out

Something took over her

She was paralyzed in awe
