Prison Cell

Mhea

My mind is like a prison cell

I have been sentenced to life

Stuck within these four walls 

Pacing around the cell block 

 

Intrusive thoughts circle like guards

Dictating my schedule 

Controlling what I eat

Counting my calories

 

Society is the judge

Issuing opinions and verdict

Imprisoning others for being themselves

Imprisoned me in here 

 

Overthinking is my bailiff

Punishing me for being me

Punishing me by taking away my sleep 

Incarcerating me subconsciously

    a good central metaphor
    thanks for sharing
    congrats! on finishing college
    this next ten years will fly past
    be sure to cherish them
    and squeeze
    every last ounce, out of them!
    have fun
