Sad Poems for a Sad Day

Prison Walls

Black bars, cold as stone,

Off on an island, all alone.

Grief rules, an iron grip,

Piercing our hearts, causing a rip.

It's a dark place, it always rains,

Doing nothing to help soothe the pain.

The pain of loss, the pain of sorrow,

Never ceasing, still there tomorrow.

The walls are sealed in,

All you can do is force a grin.

You can't escape, everyone's tried,

It would basically be suicide.

This depression rules all,

Even the strongest fall,

It's a jail, you see

And one of the prisoners, is me
