Trapped in Life
Kurt Ludwig 1961 (Ga)
In a life of sorrow,
A man can bleed.
Without fulfilling,
His every need.
Other see him,
As a friend not to forget.
He sees to their needs,
But his own not met.
On the outside he is everything,
He hides it all so well.
But the fears inside him,
He will never tell.
A friend might guess,
The things he has hidden.
But a true friend,
Would know it’s probably forbidden.
when it's done, his life is over,
To others, how could this be?
But to him it was simple,
At last, I am free.
About this poem
About a man who loves all things. Gives others a meaning and purpose of life. All along he is deeply depressed and sad. He gains happiness being a friend others needs. But never learned how to recieve anything from them in return.
