Held Captive

Prison is where I am.. I glance all around me.. Oddly there lies a reality that is free.. Enormous trees Autumn is in the horizon Leaves changing colors.. Amber and rust Gleaming ever so brilliantly With the reflection of the sun.. Incredible creatures roam the earth.. People and places.. All and everything living in balance and tremendous harmony Equally and perfectly balanced.. Where lies the prison walls? Held bondage.. All while the outside world exudes freedom and beauty The forces within me are held captive Held in captivity it is.. From sunrise to sunset It is a vicious cycle A never ending cycle Cuts me like a knife The blades of a knife, lies its daggers in me.. Feeling the wounds of the daggers.. Painfully.. Knock down the prison walls.. Knock it down to the cold hard ground Absorb myself in freedom.. Live, love, taste, and smell freedom once again.. I received a prison sentence Who has sentenced me to confinement? To live a life of misery.. To live a life of detachment.. Living a life of seclution in captivity It was I that sentenced me.. It was I that created the prison walls to live behind Indeed was my state of mind Created deep within me.. Being in state of lack Being in state of need Whom is the culprit? Culprit is my grandest fear Let us part ways with fear.. Saying goodbye to fear Hello to Feedom..
