Prisoner

Trapped inside myself
Locked behind the walls that I built around me
The walls designed to protect
To keep out all the pain and sorrow
Have become a prison, from which there's no escape
I feel no pain, I feel no anger
I feel no passion, I feel no desire
My homemade prison has left me empty

everyone builds walls around themselves, too much coming in that should be left out. walls shouldn't be completely impenetrable though. needs a gate, a locked door with a key. forgot that in your plan, like some seem to do. interesting write. must escape the prison of the mind.

Yes, I most certainly forgot the gate. Time to build one and let the good back in.

best thing to do when a mistake is realized is to go back and fix the mistake. i like this poem :)
