Prisoner
Sharon Maria Moemise
I long for the freedom of the landscape
Where I can allow myself to escape
When the walls are closing in on me
And Hell seems the right place to be.
I reach out to touch the untouchable
I dream of reaching the impossible
I count the sand grains through the hour-glass
Knowing my fate will soon come to pass.
Helpless, hands tied behind my back
No amount of fighting will allow the chains to slack
I beg for reprieve, for a just one chance of freedom
For on last attempt to seek God's wisdom
I open the gates of the past to catch up
Allowing old pain, hurt and regrets to fill my cup
Holding on to memories of days gone by
While I beseech my soul in vain, to not cry
My mind is strong though my willpower weak
I lived a sunny dream with a future so bleak
I'm trapped in a cell with bars of a strange kind
I'm locked up for life, a prisoner of my own mind.

- Comment from author about the poem: So many of my poems were based on real life events, thus the overdose of emotion in them. I've built a cage of self pity, denial, blame and sadness around me that made me feel imprisoned by all kinds of negative emotion. This making me realize that I'm mostly inspired to write my best poetry when I'm feeling sad, which is most of the time. I'm locked up for life, because if I had to remember all of my life, the bad times outweigh the good.

VERY HAUNTING POEM SHARON ~ Your hearts plea is "Break these chains from my HEART and set me free" I fel so sad that someone as beautiful and sensuous as you ANGEL feels that you are "Locked up for life ~ a prisoner of your own mind". Love can set you free and we all love you ~ we love your poetry and we love the lovely sensuous Lady that we know you are. Thanks for sharing ~ Love & Hugs ~ BRIAN XOX
Thank you Brian. Very heartfelt comment. I truly appreciate it.
I love this one Sharon! As usual your work really inspires. Like you, most of my work stems from times of pain and sadness but it never ceases to amaze when turned into a thing of beauty such as this! Reminds me of a very old one of mine called Prisoner In Death's Jaws... I must post it one day as it seems we have much in common xx
Thank you, SabreLi. I'd really love to read Prisoner in Death's Jaws.
