    MIND PRISON
    I've done hard-time in a prison cell
    I mistakenly thought that it was Hell
    Come to find out the toughest prison I'd see
    is the prison I found deep inside of me
    Afraid of success and afraid to fail
    The fear in my mind was worse than jail
    I was always worried what others might think
    So I hid behind dope and all kinds of drink
    I was always told that I was a leader
    I chose to follow cause iot was much safer
    As it turns out I have talents abound
    I can draw, play huitar, and write I've found
    My hidden talents are at last set free
    And wherever they take me is ok with me
    I'm reasy for failure as well as success
    It's all part of the creative process
    So never again will I imprison my mind
    Open yours up and see what you find

    i think everyone is imprisoned in their mind in someway or another. each person with a past that has brought them to their present....looks like you are ready to take the road where ever it may lead, that's a great way to live.

    Good poem and I liked the concept, your right, a lot of people are imprisoned in there mind. Critique, misspelled words take away the flow of a good poem. smiles

    Hi Sky, we should talk honey. I share your addiction for that dope. I don't write about it much but I think we can talk about having this in common. Send me a comment and I'll leave you my email so we can chat - if you'd like.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
