Prisoner

I am a prisoner of my personality- locked behind bars of firm reality, I am a prisoner of my society-dressed in stripes to stand me out from the world’s uniformity, I am a prisoner of my sincerity- set apart by the blind for opening their eyes to obvious reality, I am a prisoner of my conformity -forced to endure my decision despairing in silly absurdity, I am a prisoner of my beauty -chained in a hole too dark for a charming humanity, I am a prisoner of my ideologies- driven through life conforming to borrowed priorities, I am a prisoner of my ignorance- bound by the shallowness of my desire to connect to life’s significance, I am a prisoner of my religion-forced to one track my mind and depend on a preset decision, I am a prisoner of my addiction- posted behind a wall of unbreakable brick by brick satisfaction, I am a prisoner of my universe- checked and controlled like sand in an hour glass that cannot reverse.

F* Flow,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you for the warm welcome Linda. I am a lover of free thought and a vessel to what the Gods want me write. It is a nice feeling being in such a community. Now all we have is time to know more about each other as poets. I like your poem -AM I. I have a similar one also wrote during a lost period of my existance. Once again,thank you for the warm welcome. NAMASTE
