All these years I’ve been Trapped in My Mind.

Following orders, making my life miserable as days go by.

Putting a Fake smile and holding in this rage of disappointment toward myself believing I’m not good enough for anyone.

Why is my life, so time-consuming yet I go nowhere.  

Why is God still giving me life for?

Why am I here?

All these questions are on my mind constantly, as if a favorite tune was stuck in your head.

But this is not a tune, but a tragedy tune.

Yea, I guess I recieve everything I need.

Like clothing, shelter and food.

But where are the adventures, where is the love, where are the laughs.

Isn’t that what you need to be happy?

I feel like thorns of roses are stuck in my brain with all the tears that pour at night.

Thinking how I’m going to be judged by my own family if I don’t try or do what they want me to be when I grow up.

Making myself a disappointment, there disappointment.

Not taking this chance, of going to college what I’ve always wanted to be a model.

Actually using my height for something, and being someone.

Not just that basic random “tree” in class, so they say.

Or be that RN, which I’ve always wanted to be.

Not a Doctor or a Dentist, I’m not as capable of becoming someone so smart.

Or am I?

Being trapped in my mind for years, has made me very fake.

Holding strange grudges, toward myself.

How I’m not good enough.

For not joining extracurricular activities, never winning 1st place in anything.

Well, one day, I will be good enough for all of you.

I’m Priscilla Medina, and I’m a unicorn.
