Waking torment
Release me!
I struggle to get free
Tethered loosely
Hope within painful grasp
Ease off then thrash about...

we thrash about
in a pool of our bones
squirting ink into the eyes 
of a million long dead ghosts

   beneath the blackness of our ink
we snip off the arms of our sanity
one by one by one.... we slowly sink
into echoes of our snapping beak...

This  door is closed
Feel free to scream and shout
No one hears you
Feel free to thrash about 
Let it all out
I am sorry that it hurts
How could you not foresee 
Your own destiny 
Hold up a mirror
See your horror
And stop blaming me  
Accept the stain 
It will lessen the pain......
Bow your head to the Lord 
An inner peace will be restored .....Feel Free.......

stuck inside these four walls
i pretend to be tone deaf
stubbornly manage to ignore
the incessant dull screams
echoing from deep within
i recognize my muse trapped
crying for freedom of expression
the artist bound and ligatured
itching to be let out of confines
craving to be set free to thrash about
if i ever get out of here
splash some colors wild and loose
drawing free curves and swirls
on canvas of every shape and size
