A Prisoner's Tale

With everyday i wake The darkness around me advances, Swallowing me in its pool of misery To never liven up again. With every breath i take I realise that i'm more alone, Neglected and rejected for a weakness That i am not to be blamed. With every step i take,I feel like a puppet. Driven around by invisble strings, That halts my freedom To the length of string To whom it may concern. With every tear i shed in pain My wrath and agony aggravate. Slashed and whipped through day and night A sufferer i remain. With every dawn that comes My hopes of a future will prevail, Though a prisoner I am and will remain My hopes will forever lighten my path.
