Heather Johnson Poet I do not know?

Prisoner of Myself

I’m a prisoner of my own soul & my own mind.
My soul must be blind to see only darkness.
I don’t know…
But I feel so alone.
Am I raged with fear? 
Or only in despair? 

No matter how I try, 
I just can’t seem to free myself from this hell.
No matter what I do, 
The shackles just won’t break!

No matter what I try, I find myself stuck in this lonely hole.
I find myself alone with this sound of silence. 

No matter how I try, I just can’t seem to breath again.
No matter what I do, I find myself inside this room, 
Where the world’s walls are closing in on me.

When will it end? Am I destined to never escape from this hell?

Jake... or you might take the offer made in "We've Been Alone Too Long" found in my portfolio. Regardless, welcome... May you find comfort here.... Jake

Arden Gopela November 6, 2013 at 7:26 AM Heather, this one's great! Our future, hopes and dreams will always rely on what we have inside as a being! Yes, we're prisoners of our own but we can also be the same bird that could fly high and be free depending on how we value our own. Welcome to PoetrySoup by the way! Your new souper-friend! All the best! Love,love,love! :-) - Den
