Prison Cell

 

I live in the shadow of Regret

And battle against Fear

My life is like a reflection

Of Hatred in the mirror

I know I’ve got to rewind

And play back all the pain

In order to move forward

With a life that’s rearranged

But it seems like a lost battle

Like a failure without a cause

I know all things are possible

If we can see past all the flaws

But life seems to strike me down

Before the grand applause

And I fight and fight till I’m worn out

I have no strength from the curse of Doubt

So I put my head down, step forward

Then step back, repetition I do not lack

I get stuck between two steps and react

Like a man who’s chained in bondage

Inside a bitter and cold prison cell

I’m stuck between four walls

On earth, this is my brutal hell

I’m shackled and just seem to fall

I have many secrets I cannot tell

So this is my destiny, where I’ll dwell

Until death rings just like a bell

First of all, a big sorry for the late review.

And, oh my gods, this is awesome! The emotions just poured off it in torrents; maybe it has something to do with the bold words. It really accentuates the meaning of the words. It's so easy to relate to this poem, it's almost scary.

Keep up the good work! :)
