Locked

Shackled in place

can’t let go of doubt

the feeling of low worth

can’t be erased

can’t break out

locked in a brain shaped box

a prisoner of life

who can open the locks?

untangle chains that bind

Locked in mind

self-hating brain

behind walls built

to withstand pain

tried to scramble clear

but the cell filled with fear

like deep waters rising

gasping, crying

thoughts flooded out

rivers of doubt

The prisoner

of mind and heart

a thinker torn apart

now locked in a new hell

shiny new cell

senses
that won’t depart

ripped feelings
scar his new start

soul let out a scream

agonisingly deep

negative dream

Locked down in self hate

wants to feel reborn

open up his prison gate

throw down the crown of thorns

not slip on icy ground

stand tall and proud

but the prison of life

keeps grinding down

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love
