Prisoner of my thoughts

Prisoner of my thoughts

A Poem by Obby
"

Something for you

"
I wonder if you wonder how i am doing right now
I hope you still remember the night chats & long calls
Emotions can make you attached to someone you have never met
Maybe deep down you still think about me too

Hopes written in the sand & washed away by the rains
Maybe it was all an illusion or i was day dreaming
Every night & day i am tortured by my own thoughts
Circumstances wont allow us to be together,but i am hopeful

The skies pity me whilst the thunder feels like an evil laugh
Your name,reminder of how alone i am in this world
In you i saw someone who wanted somewhere to belong
Maybe i misread the texts but i doubt that too

Some days i think of calling,but i am not sure if you want me to
Tormented by the thought of us,i am a prisoner of my mind
Maybe one day you will need me as much
Only then we will ride together to the ends of the world....

I love this… reaching out and questioning. The unknown. Well said.

It's an awful thought to believe you are a prisoner in your own mind... tortured by notions of being alone and reaching out in your mind to this acquaintance whom you've never met, but think about her, either in your dreams or reality.....at least you have chatted with her, but still seem to have the urge to reach out once more. Nice write!
Best, Betty

We are all in some way or other prisoners of our own mind and probably stranger still although perfectly sound is that our thoughts are also what frees us. An incredible read and journey. TFS.

I withdraw from online interactions my only experiences with them have met with the same results the only part of a person that gets expressed is an edited version more so than the inevitable response you just thought after reading that line for it is far to easy to be something you are not when all that you see is an avatar in real life interactions much less can be hidden. I'm sure this type of interaction can be a healing one for the person involved but authenticity is a rare mineral in the mines of the ethereal world
