Alone I Am Alone

Alone I am, within my cell, where shadows on the walls are not of me. Echoes of silence, my only song. Bound by solitude, in chains unseen, My thoughts, embraced companions on the walls by none but I are seen. Yet in this stillness, I find no peace and so I weep, A sanctuary where my dreams are deep. Embracing the quiet, I struggle all to hard to keep, For within myself, I found that I belong. Inside my mind, where once I heard a sound that none could hear.
