Prisoner

Bottled up and shaken hard Put in a box with a card Locked away and buried deep Those feelings are for me to keep No one relates to me anymore My mind is furthest from a bore Twisting reality is quite unique They say I am a creepy freak Murky answers dumped in a pile Integrity and motives left on trial No where to hide, no tiny space Thoughts destroy every place Dark demons occupy my mind They keep me in quite a bind Tormenting me with each evil word What is said is clearly heard I know they’re right with what they say There’s no point left to try and pray No one will save someone like me Accepting now that I cannot flee

This poem I think is quite well done though I don't really understand verse 2 line 2. This poem has me thinking you feel there is no hope. There is hope though in our Lord and Saviour Jesus if you will trust in Him. Many of my poems talk about this blessed hope. Perhaps you might want to peruse my collection of poems.

Thank you for your feedback. Line 2 verse 2 is basically saying “Ithink too much”. That I’m so preoccupied with my own thoughts and kind of lost/stuck there. I know my poems are usually very dark and dismal but it is just an outlet. Once it’s out in poetry it vanishes from me and then hope is restored. Such an amazing release writing can be. I’m actually a very optimistic person. Probably too much so as I find myself constantly surprised by things people do and the way things can turn out. Appreciate your thoughts a lot. Thank you so much.
