Trapped

The Sunday Muse # 191





Fearful, doubtful 

Through and through

An outcast.

Skin permeates 

In deep oceans

As a pariah out on a prowl.

People are objects

Detested and tested

In tiny cells of curtains.

How ugly can one become

Within the chains of closed doors.

A  catastrophe dances

 Inside and outside

Isn't that how it has been

for the past few years?

  5. I love "tiny cells of curtains". Makes me think of an ER. That's how crazy this year has made me.
