It’s where I wish I was
Right now, for I feel
Trapped within my own
Jar of life
The lid tightened
The colors foggy
Pressing against
The glass no one
Sees me as my
Reflection bounces
All around me
Forcing me to
Look inside
At my own person
I cry to get out
But you don’t
See my tears
It is up to me
To turn my
Entrapment into
A release
For my soul
For my health
I stop, and listen
My mind speaks
I must be free
Once again.

Love the new purple wallpaper!
This read very powerfully for me formatted as prose:
It’s where I wish I was right now, for I feel trapped within my own Jar of Life, the lid tightened, the colors foggy. Pressing against the glass, no one sees me as my reflection bounces all around me, forcing me to look inside at my own person. I cry to get out, but you don’t see my tears. It is up to me to turn my entrapment into a release, for my soul, for my health. I stop, and listen. My mind speaks. I must be free once again.
I don’t know if I punctuated it correctly or not. It’s amazing that you pulled such an anguished piece out of a seemingly peaceful picture.

We each see things differently. When I saw the bottle, no matter how beautiful the photo I do live inside that bottle at times. Also thanks for the compliment on my wallpaper!
