The penitentiary

The penitentiary

when the walls are closing in
and the air is getting thin,
do u find yourself stifled by your thoughts,
and mental barriers of all sorts?
how do u survive the penitentairy within?
how do u live with your sin,
the one that erected that prison wall,
the one that stood and watch u fall?
how do u live? or are u already dead?
could u sleep at night when u go to bed?
when u lay your head to rest,
is our life a mess?
when u look in the mirror, are u proud of what u see?
do u want to be free?
well self acceptance is the key,
to unlock the gates of your mental penitentiary.

Wow. Heart felt. Almost like you're talking direct to ones soul. I love it.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
