Trapped

Trapped inside perishing hopes,
Watching plans and dreams die,
Observing work go to waist.
Trapped inside diminishing dreams.
Unable to stop the torrent.
The torrent is destroying,
Breaking,
Crushing all hopes and dreams.
Trapped inside the river of disappointment,
The rain washing away my security,
Washing away my hope.
Watching my dedication crumble,
Until it amounts to nothing.
Trapped inside my own perishing hopes.
Unable to stop its destruction.
Forced to observe.
Watching.
Waiting.
Trapped.
