Trapped
by: Amy Cornet

Trapped in a hole
No way out
Blackness surrounds me
Demons throughout

Calling my name
They won't let me go
Trying to break free
To find my true soul

So much control
It has over me
Both mind and body
It won't set me free

I fight and I fight
This demon within
When will it go
When will I WIN?
