(Untitled)
This one was written last week. For all those who know me, I think you'll know what it's about. The world can be a lonely place..
So many I's
So self-centred am I?
If you look through my eyes
Will you yourself find?
My heart pounds in rising pain
To my mind, it resonates
Breath snatched from my lungs
In life my death has just begun
Shackled in clanging heavy chains
No longer drudge, but still I will remain
The looming air, a gaping hole
Shadows my light
Swallows me whole
I am my own prisoner
Creator of my cell myself
My heart and mind
Work together
To build my bars
And bonds to sever
Alone in my cell
With no sounding bells
A lonely place to dwell
A loner, only, lonely in a cell.
So many I's
So self-centred am I?
If you look through my eyes
Will you yourself find?
My heart pounds in rising pain
To my mind, it resonates
Breath snatched from my lungs
In life my death has just begun
Shackled in clanging heavy chains
No longer drudge, but still I will remain
The looming air, a gaping hole
Shadows my light
Swallows me whole
I am my own prisoner
Creator of my cell myself
My heart and mind
Work together
To build my bars
And bonds to sever
Alone in my cell
With no sounding bells
A lonely place to dwell
A loner, only, lonely in a cell.
