Mike Toole Poet Rhyme

Self Confined

I’m self confined with another
In this loveless prison cell
It's the height of my suffering
Like a taste of pure hell
I’ve got to break out
I’ve got to break free 
As my soul needs to dance
If it’s just only with me 
My friends don’t understand 
For all these longings inside 
Are not on view to the world 
As from the world, I must hide 
They say how lucky I am 
What a great life i lead
All those trappings from money
But I just want to be freed
They see my joyful facade 
But it’s just a mask that I wear
I feel like screaming to them all
"But I just want someone to care"
"I need someone to care"
With him, my soul is so hungry
I’m starving inside
I want someone to quench me
But he just sucks me dry
The walls just confine me 
As he shackles my heart
As he smothers my joy
And drives us further apart
But I was never his love
Never walked by his side
He was never a soulmate 
In whom I could confide
For a kindred spirit
Never makes you feel small 
But as large as the heavens
Oh I just want it all 
Not the trappings of ‘stuff’
Of that, I’ve had enough
But the freedom to breath
To inhale life’s pure bliss
I want to break out
For it's this that I miss
