Life Is A Prison
by Puff

Life is a prison,
Oh God let me out.
No one to listen,
To hear when you shout.

Climb the walls of insanity,
Ride the waves of despair.
If you fall it don't matter,
There's no one to care.

Used to wish for a window,
To see birds, trees and sky,
But you're better without one -
Stops you aiming too high.

Watching freedom is painful,
For those locked away.
Seeing joy, love and happiness,
Another price that you pay.

Strong is good, weak is bad.
Be it false, be it true.
Your mind makes the choice,
And enforces it too.

Cell walls built by society,
With rules to adhere.
If you breach the acceptable,
You had better beware.

Hide the pain, carry on,
Routine is the key.
Don't let on that you're not,
What you're pretending to be.

Lock it all up inside you,
How badly that bodes.
Look out for that one day,
When it all just explodes.

Leaving naught but a shell,
Base functionality too.
But killing all else,
That was uniquely you.

So how do you grow,
With a timebomb inside?
Or how to defuse it,
Without destroying its ride?

You can't.

I can't say it any better, sorry for everyone's hurt-Angel

Hi Angel, hope you don't mind me asking a question - Is there anyone that you trust?

I never mind someone asking me a question, if the answer is to personal I will say so.

So...to answer your question. Regretfully no, I have completely lost my ability to trust. (part of my PTSD). I used to trust everyone, then it (trauma) happened.

Working with my T, she seems to think I haven't lost my ability to trust, I've just tucked it away.

Thanks for asking!
Hugs-Angel

I'm sorry Angel! I also think that you haven't lost it. It just takes time to regain it. First you need to feel safe in order to trust again. I think that in order to feel safe that you need to gain the skills to protect yourself and that you have to heal your hurts to a certain point.
