Imprisonment
Sometimes I want to go out at night
But this household hugs me tight
Sometimes my mind likens to greater men
And it rages at this humble pen
But like so many before
An imprisonment I do adore
Standing tall, its bars so strong
Has hidden me for oh so long
Outside holds dangers with no guard rail
My mentor, Fear says that I will fail
So as I hug my pillow tight
I tell myself there are other nights
In my dreams the dusty doorknob greeted me
Shaking his hand I glimpsed a place to be free
So I went and left the comfort of my bed
To collect the thoughts that had fallen from my head
