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
