PRISONER
Words from the heart long to be freed
But are bound within the confines of the lips
Even when liberating to the soul
How ironic! The emancipator struggles to be unleashed!
A predicament if you ask me...
The attempt to break out...all to no avail
Suppression of thought...overcrowding...pressure mounts
It reaches its climax... with no prior notice, it begins to release
A fatal release if you ask me ...
...Detrimental to its target
The sudden outburtst...seething with rage
A cry for help if you ask me
For none can comprehend its depth
None can defend it (except itself)
None can fathom its worth
Ask me...I say I'm a prisoner of my words!
