Analysis of Trapped
Mark Kidd 1990
Trapped from the beginning
Locked and lost the key
No one to save me
I can't break free
Why did this happen to me
I can barely breathe
Thoughts scatter like debris
I'm trapped and alone
Broken down to the bone
Beaten daily by the feeling of pain
Will I ever get out and be free again
free from sadness and sorrow
Tomorrow perhaps
there will be no more Traps
