People laughing and being free
Signs of life outside this room
Shattering the haunting gloom
In this cage I've built myself
Only empty shelves are left.

I wonder why I feel no pain
In this world of the insane
Silence so loud all around me
Demons of hell won't let me be
Cannot stop the bleeding tears
or calm the twisted turning fears.

I've built these walls all around
No one has ever knocked them down
In my lonely world I stay
Sometimes too withdrawn to pray
The shadows dance as they hear me cry
Darkness beckons my will to die. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Mistee [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

My Own Prison

Contributed by Mistee on Thursday, 24th June 2004 @ 07:45:19 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

In my prison walls I see
People laughing and being free
Signs of life outside this room
Shattering the haunting gloom
In this cage I've built myself
Only empty shelves are left.

I wonder why I feel no pain
In this world of the insane
Silence so loud all around me
Demons of hell won't let me be
Cannot stop the bleeding tears
or calm the twisted turning fears.

I've built these walls all around
No one has ever knocked them down
In my lonely world I stay
Sometimes too withdrawn to pray
The shadows dance as they hear me cry
Darkness beckons my will to die.

A good show of fear. I pray you feel okay. God bless you. Peace out.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
