Am I healed?

Is laying in your misery always a good thing?

Because I have gone so
far without healing,
I've become innate.
Letting each day fade and a piece of my soul it take

I've adapted to feeling this way, letting each day go by
And I wonder.. Is this the way?

Is this some temporary chapter in my life I'm just supposed to remain strong and take?
Or is this some horrifying nightmare that will eternally forbid me to awake.

In this dream I'm trapped in four walls,
I I look everywhere in sight but nothing is revealed.
I grip my hands together and slam wall after wall and nothing seems to work,
I'm held captive and sealed.

I've lost one of my senses,
I can no longer feel.
At least nothing can hurt me ,
now if only I lost sight of the physical and emotional scars that never seem to heal.

I lose control of myself and verociously get knocked down.
He says how can you be so weak look at these four walls and I look around.

They're made of plastic
but you can't seem to get it through your head.
Because you're convinced you can't get out,
you lay in your own misery instead.

He says my child I do everything for a reason,
don't ever doubt me.
He kisses my forehead, I awake.
No longer blind or heartless,
I finally see.

I found this poem to be moving and sad yet hopeful in the end. I would like to see you edit it and take out the rhymes though. There is no need for them and they sort of get in the way of a really good piece of poetry. :-)

Keep up the good work. You are brave and good poets must be brave.

I think it's just something I've been accustomed to, in terms of writing rhymes. It give it a little emphasis on how I'm feeling I guess. Thank you so much for the constructive review I really appreciate it!
