My Prison Break

The only real prison is in your mind

My Prison Break

What are these shadows flowing in my mind

are they my thoughts that are so unkind

Why do I contacntly put myself down

has my self confidence gone underground

They say that I'm kindly, friendly and nice

then why do I feel like my hearts made of ice

I am a prisoner the key thrown away

my mnd is the jailor and will never be swayed.

To free my thoughts for even an hour

wouldgrant me my wish and give me the power

To break down these bars would be wonderfully nice

and free my heart thats bound up in ice

To look at the world and be able to smile

Like I once did when I was a child.

I just want to go back in that dark hole again and have to fight every day not to.

I have to repeat your words, WOW, it is exasctly who I am, If you arfe feeling this way I know how you feel and I sympathize. The only thing kind of keeping me going is I hate the thought od killing my self and know it is not an option. I would just like to crawl back into my deep dark blasck hole and just excist as nothing. I was that for 4 years from 12 to 16, I never spoke a word to anyone, no one at all, but of vourse that was perpetrated by my father raping me. He first raped me when I was 6, the night of my bros funeral who committed suicide because he was also being molested by my dad.

Wow this poem is very powerful. It reminds me a lot of my "Pirate of my Peace" poem u shud read it. Some of the best writings come from dark souls and depressed feelings. Many of my poems are depressing...I just haven't gotten around to putting them up. This is a really great poem.
