Prison Tower

Inspired from my novel in work called Black Sun Rising.

Are the walls closing in?

Pressure from all sides

Is the room spinning?

Perception takes leave

Look at this storm you created

Twisting- wrestling- agitation

How will you escape this?

Angry storm clouds over your head

~

Regret crashes all around

This isn't what you had in mind at all

Blame rains down all around

Rain can't wash this all away

~

Innocent- only few know

Judgement strikes down still

No sympathy for any tears of yours

This curse has been brought upon you

~

Is it getting harder to breathe?

You wish it was all in your head

It's not safe to tread there either

Voices and images haunt like an unwanted ghost

~

Awake or not

There is no rest found

Where is the calm to this storm?

There is no shelter to hide in from this.

~

Accusing fingers point your way

Nothing can be done about this curse

Status stripped with no hesitation

Abandoned now and locked away

~

An isolated place as cold as a winter evening,

When you can see your breath fade out.

Lonely and empty as a cemetery on a foggy night,

When the wind is as cold as death.

~

Through the tightly barred window,

Loneliness blows through.

Shivers through your scarred body.

Left here to rot in a most uncomfortable way.

~

These are the cards Fate has dealt.

How will you play at an unfair game?

Will you give up and fold?

The clock is ticking ever so softly, and it's your turn now.

I enjoyed reading this. You painted a picture in my head with your words. I wouldn't rate it because nothing is perfect so well done.
