Trapped

I wonder why it is
That I cannot be free.
Because of all this anger
That is still inside of me.
I feel it is a prison
Deep within my soul.
The bars, they all surround
Me and the atmosphere is
Cold.
A tiny cell I'm trapped in
With no way to escape.
No windows to bring light
in... just darkness every day.
Darkness is the only friend
I've ever known.
The only friend I have here
Within these prison walls.
Sometimes it does get lonely,
But it never lets me down.
Darkness never leaves me...
So I never feel abandoned...
I never feel alone.
I wish there was a way, though,
That I could just get out.
Break free from all the anger...
All the loneliness and doubt.
Find my way to sunshine...
To the person I once was.
To the time when I was free...
When I was happy... when I was
Well !

Still trying to let the anger go. Been trying for 3 years now... since my Dad died. It's a long difficult process. And thanks for the warm welcome everyone !!

Good topic that many people face having emotions that they wish would go away...We have to face and acknowledge what we are feeling then get at the root....Then we can find the true source of the emotion...Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara
