    Maximum Security


    I turn to my heart for some direction; some peace of mind
    But it is so quiet; no words to listen for
    No friends, no family, no confidantes to lean on; I am still blind
    No hope; no advice; no avenues to explore
    Have I chosen to lock the door too much; have I welcomed the bars alone in my cell
    A prison; Maximum security
    The key I have hidden well
    Confusion sets in; my brain starts to race
    Where should i go; who do I turn to
    My thoughts I wish I could erase
    Please could you be me; I be you
    I am in solitary confinement
    Alone; cold; scared
    Perhaps i should search for some refinement
    Back to when I actually cared
    Part of me wants to go back to the state of ignorance is bliss
    The other is glad I stepped over the boundary of good and bad
    But then I would have had to miss
    The learning process I've had
    The choices I made readily
    I must deal with them on my own
    Maximum security
    Maximum overload

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
