Lost

Shackles throw me but where do I land?
Prisoner to mind and soul
They're not mine, but still I go.
Build my chapel on a ridge 
Making sure there's no bridge.
Afraid to tell you what I know 
The guards won't ever let it show.
Keep a happy face before
It gets worse and I get sore.
This is a War.
