Prisoner

I sabotage my happiness with every chance I get I wollow in my sadness my fears and my regrets I beg for love to claim me but I am fearful of its strenght I stop to smell the flowers but soon forget their scent I ache for new adventure but make no move to progress I dream of all that could be but I am un-inspired yet I have made myself a prisoner in a cell that's dull and bleak I view the world through Iron bars as I sit and rot and weep

This is very very moving. You have talent. Have a read through to edit, there are a few small errors which can easily be rectified. ie: strength, make no move, that's. The piece is so good you don't want distractions to sidetrack your readers.
