Dark Poetry: Prison in my Mind Part 2
This wonderfully dark poem is dedicated to those who suffer from imprisoning themselves with their perceptions and emotions. It is time to set yourself free, my friends. There is beauty in the light. Thanks for reading and enjoy!
Bleak reflections shimmer against void walls
The prison of my dark heart crushes me whole
I cannot look to others as the instigators
For I am the warden, judge and executioner
Sentenced to live in solitude forever
I have the keys to unlock my happiness
The age asks the time lost if it is worth the price
Leaving comfort and pain for risk and joy
It answers back the moment has passed
Lamenting the opportunities it afforded me
My words of advice from my cell of dim reality
Follow your heart, discover your desires
Exposure to pain is in the moment
Expression of desires is monumental
Live, love, be. Exist for me
The cruel hands of time hold me back
Those hands are my own
