The Prisoner

The Prisoner 
i am the prisoner 
i live between all these layers of what 
i think i should do and what i really want 
i am a prisoner of my life 
so that i do not knoe 
what i rally want to do 
i am some man`s wife 
i feel guilty all the time 
about it all 
i cannot call but i can write 
do not take me out of context 
someday never comes 
weeping
