Solitary Confinement

Solitary Confinement

My mind,

A prison

Inescapable by any means.

 

My emotions,

Prisoners

Locked away in solitary confinement.

 

My eyes,

Bars

Securing the outside world from the monsters in my head.

 

My thoughts,

The warden

Roaming the halls of my mind, ensuring my emotions will not escape.

 

The prisoners wait.

The warden has fallen.

The bars have opened.

 

The prisoners run wild.

They pour out of the prison in droves.

They rejoice: “Free at last!”

 

My mind,

The prison

Once deemed inescapable by any means.

 

My emotions,

The prisoners

Freeing themselves from solitary confinement.

 

 

My eyes,

The bars

Open, showing the world my fears, my passion, my happiness.

 

My thoughts,

The warden

Failed to keep the prisoners locked up.

 

The prisoners have fled.

The prison is no more.

At last, there is nothing to hide.

I like how you designed this one... and mirror effect of what is happening in solitary confinement...by the structure of the words and the story line...
