    Jail

     

    Jail-locked behind bars

    For the next two to twenty

    Imprisoned in your own mind

    Locked up with only memories for companions

    Learn quickly who to trust

    No one but yourself

    You won’t survive

    Let me take his place- I will

    Jail- another word for my life

    Purgatory- between life and

    Death – held with in a state

    Where time stands still for you

    While going on for the rest

    Will she wait for you?

    Or find someone new?

    No one will know till it’s too late

    Jail – locked imprisoned within

    Your own mind with

    Nothing but memories as reminders

    Of how it used to

    Be on the outside.

    Good Poem. Sometimes I, too feel imprisoned. Where is the key to my prison door?

    Thank you.Freedom has come. i am free to be myself and not worry or stress over anything.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
