A Prison Within My Mind
0 ReviewsA dark place I can never escape that many have within their own minds.
Deep within my mind lies a prison of darkness.
All alone I sit within this prison of loneliness.
For in my mind I am always alone.
Repenting for the nothings for which I cannot atone.
Waiting for someone to save me from this fate.
Waiting for someone to save me from this hate.
Suddenly a bright light shines through to me.
A savior, an angel who has come do I see.
Warm light floods the darkness of my mind.
For a moment the light had me truly blind.
She took my hand and broke me free of my prison.
Free from the darkness I had finally risen.
But short and sweet was my salvation.
She left me and with her left my elation.
Back to the darkness I fell from the sky.
She saved me once but it was all a lie.
For a brief time I experienced true bliss.
But I will never truly escape this prison of darkness.
All alone I sit within this prison of loneliness.
For in my mind I am always alone.
Repenting for the nothings for which I cannot atone.
Waiting for someone to save me from this fate.
Waiting for someone to save me from this hate.
Suddenly a bright light shines through to me.
A savior, an angel who has come do I see.
Warm light floods the darkness of my mind.
For a moment the light had me truly blind.
She took my hand and broke me free of my prison.
Free from the darkness I had finally risen.
But short and sweet was my salvation.
She left me and with her left my elation.
Back to the darkness I fell from the sky.
She saved me once but it was all a lie.
For a brief time I experienced true bliss.
But I will never truly escape this prison of darkness.
