Robert Andrew Lyle Poet Rhyme

Prisoner

I am imprisoned by my mind
It keeps me locked up tight
I can’t go out at daytime
I can’t go out at night 
I live in fear of spiders
Snakes and small spaces too
Guess what I’m even frightened
When I have to flush the loo
I have a fear of shopping
Why I do not know
But I get into a panic 
Every time I want to go
People  say come out now 
I really wish I could
I don’t want to upset them
Or make them think I’m rude
But here imprisoned I must stay
Until I get released one day

Lucilla Robert Andrew Lyle March 23, 2014 at 11:00 AM Luckily its in the past but have been in the dreaded depression and I know how our minds rule our beings and how some people are prisoners in their own homes. Thank you Lucilla for your kind words. There but for the grace of God go I.. Andy
