Threads Deep Within

Prisoner

Bars of steel

Bold of heart

I will never be able to

Embark

Away from

My reality

Thread has been

Cut

All time

Is lost

Surrounded by their smiles

Fire burns within

Fault of their force

Strikes my fate

To cry

Tears of stardust

Surround me

Spirit ripped out

Thrown under pressure

Slamming against concrete walls

Blades shining

Unforgettable reflection

Recollection above

All else

Drowning in expectations

Lackluster of her love

Swarms

Stinging and scarring

My warring cry rings out

Internally

For I mustn't fight reality

Yet I long for

Freedom

Heart of steel

Cold and lonely

Pierced beyond

Horizons of sunsets

Bars of bold

Hands grip tightly

Hopeful for escape

Yet it is I

The prisoner

Of my own fate

Within

My own

Mind.
