Prompt for Hour Six

Use the following image to inspire your next poem.

Take me to a place in time
where I was a different person.

I don’t recognize myself in the mirror
it’s been way too long since I have felt
comfortable in my skin.
It doesn’t fit me anymore.

My mind is empty
Running dry of stimulus
it can’t keep up.
I am so afraid.
I feel trapped
I want to reach out for help.

You see me
but do you hear my cries?

I am burning in this fire of despair.
I have nowhere to run.
