Why am I here
Why are there freedoms that I long
Certain questions weren't meant to be ascertained...

This injustice, burns in my soul
My hope, remains within my grasp
I can wish, wish for what I know is right
Can my prayer reach past these hollow walls?

Impaired may be my body
But my heart lay elsewhere
Its fortitude cannot be despaired
Depression shan't slip over me

I know what is right
I won't forget...
They can imprison me
But they cant imprison who I am! [comments] => 2 [counter] => 167 [topic] => 43 [informant] => RealmX [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Imprison Not My Innocence

Topic: oops

Lost in what I am
Why am I here
Why are there freedoms that I long
Certain questions weren't meant to be ascertained...

This injustice, burns in my soul
My hope, remains within my grasp
I can wish, wish for what I know is right
Can my prayer reach past these hollow walls?

Impaired may be my body
But my heart lay elsewhere
Its fortitude cannot be despaired
Depression shan't slip over me

I know what is right
I won't forget...
They can imprison me
But they cant imprison who I am!

Wow, what an awesome work.... You did great. My absolute favorite line is "can my prayer reach past these hollow walls". Excellent line. Excellent poem too.....

God bless,
Ellen
