Reflections

Years of lifetime thrown away, I am encaged of bars I created myself. The host and the hostage; The prisoner and the prison. They are all the same, They are all me. I have been here long enough To have befriended the shadows, Shadows that are almost indistinct From the cold dark floor that I lie on. My cries fade out through the bars And the shadows swallow me, whole.

friends with shadows remind me of something. And the name fits.
