    Locked Inside

    Within these confines of what is called my mind

    There dwells a creature, who’s been there for all time

    I keep him under lock and key

    For any escape would destroy me

    He was out at one time

    With no remorse, no regret

    He ruled my life, I’ll never forget

    He walked a path that few understand

    And every sin he held in his hand

    Those days are gone but not forgot

    Of pain, suffering and the wrath he brought

    “One day at a time” is what I do

    To keep the door locked for me and you

    With love in your heart and wings on your back

    You keep me afloat I’ll never go back

    The key to the door

    My Father now has

    And through Him he’ll never pass

    My Father knows what’s best for me

    I worship, honor, and respect thee

    And when it’s time for me to go

    All my love to you I bestow

    The first seven lines are thoght provoking and the conversational tone adds to the philosophical tempo of the writing.

    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.
