My Mind is a Prison
June 20, 2011
My mind is a prison,
My thoughts are a jail.
I am not worth it,
No one will pay my bail.
I beg for help
with a silent scream.
No one can hear me,
No matter how loud to me it may seam.
Mute to the world,
For I don't say a word.
As I wait for a special someone,
so I might be heard.
Guilty, defeated, and weak,
Agonized, hopeless, and alone.
Numb with so much pain,
Hot needles driven to the bone.
I can't escape this prison
Until I find the key.
Though ti may be a while,
One day I'll realize that key is me.
