A Prisioner Within

Tears seem to flow at any moment day or night.Never can tell when or why.Never 
understanding the pain that has been inflicted deep within my heart. 
I feel that i am drowning in my sorrow.Yearning to be set free. 
Wanting and needing to be loved. 
No one seems to understand the sadness i feel. 
My mind wonders off to a earlier part of my life. 
Asking myself how and why.Never receiving a justified answer. 
Longing for closure.Longing for the emotions to just go away. 
Being a prisoner in my body heart and soul. 
Desperately seeking for freedom from within. 
I pray i will be set free.Free to enjoy life as it  has meant to be.
