My Own Prison
My own prison
These guarded walls of steel
Protecting this life
And everything I feel
These thoughts are my own
Alone
Inside these catacombs
Places no one has ever known
The deepest fears
That with no one
I have ever shared
A passion
That I can never show
No one knows
For I have committed the sins
This is my price to pay
As I lock myself away
No one can hurt me here
I will not let them
Get close enough to care
I cannot let them
Destroy what took me so long to rebuild
So I lock myself here
In my own prison
And here I shall remain
Until I can rid myself of all the pain
The End
