I feel trapped
I am not trapped in a tower
Nor am I locked up
But yet I am trapped
I am not trapped in a tower
Yet I feel as though am looking out
Seeing the world below me
Watching people live full lives
Falling in love and seeing the wonders of the world
I am not chained up
Yet I am weighed down by the chains of life
People telling me I can’t leave
People telling me I am not good enough
And I believe them
I have been calling out for years to anyone who would listen
I would leave diary entries on my bed in hopes someone would read them
In hopes, someone would come and talk to me
But it never worked
They thought I was joking or I was being overdramatic
But the truth is I am not
I feel what I write
And I mean what I write.
That’s why I write
I write my truth
I don’t know why
I don’t know why I feel trapped
I don’t know why I always feel alone
I don’t know why I feel scared
I don’t know why I cry
I don’t know why I feel trapped
I don’t know why
All I know is that I need help
But no one listens to my call
Not my mom nor my dad
Nor do my sisters nor my brother
I need help
I need help
Someone help me
I need to escape
I need to not feel this way
And the key to ending it all is to write
To write my truth
So here it is
The truth
My truth

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

I felt that
Wow, I definitely feel this and connect with it. This is extremely relatable. I hope it isn't too hard and I hope the feelings of being trapped can be alleviated. I am glad you wrote this. Glad I read it. Glad I heard it. Beautiful words.
This could be lyrics for a song. We love you.
I hear you
