Prisoner
Stranded
I’m vainly trying to understand
Why your silence is more deafening than your screams
I have no sense of peace. Am I damned?
Or will I wake up from this dream?
I was aiming for the light, yet the tunnel caved in
And now I’m blindly walking through the darkness
Is my blindness a punishment for a sin?
Will I make it out of hell without becoming heartless?
I’m crawling out of this hole, but I’ve got nowhere to go
I’ve been abandoned; I took my life for granted
What has happened to my soul? I don’t feel whole
This pain is more than I’ve ever imagined; I’ve been stranded.
I’m vainly trying to understand
Why your ignorance of me hurts me more than your screams
The blood runs cold through my veins; I’m going mad
My only company are my dark thoughts, of which I am their Queen.
I nearly reached the surface, yet I was pulled down
Struggling only strengthened the grip
The air rushed out of me, and I had drowned
Darkness came for me as I slipped…
I’m crawling out of this hole, but I’ve got nowhere to go
I’ve been abandoned; I took my life for granted
What has happened to my soul? I don’t feel whole
This pain is more than I’ve ever imagined; I’ve been stranded.
Why your silence is more deafening than your screams
I have no sense of peace. Am I damned?
Or will I wake up from this dream?
I was aiming for the light, yet the tunnel caved in
And now I’m blindly walking through the darkness
Is my blindness a punishment for a sin?
Will I make it out of hell without becoming heartless?
I’m crawling out of this hole, but I’ve got nowhere to go
I’ve been abandoned; I took my life for granted
What has happened to my soul? I don’t feel whole
This pain is more than I’ve ever imagined; I’ve been stranded.
I’m vainly trying to understand
Why your ignorance of me hurts me more than your screams
The blood runs cold through my veins; I’m going mad
My only company are my dark thoughts, of which I am their Queen.
I nearly reached the surface, yet I was pulled down
Struggling only strengthened the grip
The air rushed out of me, and I had drowned
Darkness came for me as I slipped…
I’m crawling out of this hole, but I’ve got nowhere to go
I’ve been abandoned; I took my life for granted
What has happened to my soul? I don’t feel whole
This pain is more than I’ve ever imagined; I’ve been stranded.

Lonely Place
Am all attentive who will teach?
Let me know..
Am all submissive who will preach
Let me vow..
Tied the knot with this crazy witch called the world who threw me out of my home and let me all alone in the ditch save me Lord..
Deep inside this wedlock nor divorce just remorse in return made my head so full and dull am walking blindly crossing lonely roads..
Sitting next or beside this witch
Body itch and muscle twitch
Lord knows I need a switch..
My eyes shut how can I see?
Road blocks I cannot flee
Got stranded in here for so many weeks
Am totally lost in what I seek..
My magic wand now just a stick
I have not a single trick
Can't penetrate a wall of bricks
So count me out among those gods of Greek..
One can tell my time is due
Am dull enough to need a clue
Set me free, let me out of this lonely place
All the doors are locked
Am trading on an empty space..
Am calling from a lonely place
I might be too late
Screaming in a such a silent place
Help me!
The sun about to rise
I am dying with no grace
All I crave for is digging my own grave..
Let me know..
Am all submissive who will preach
Let me vow..

Recurring sinner; Day of reckoning
Poor me, oh! Mummy, I am a recurring sinner Same old story waking up every morning a loser..
REIGN IN HELL OR SERVE IN HEAVEN?
BOM BA CHI-CO CHI..
LOM BA CHI-CO CHI..
CHI-CO CHI.. CHI-CO CHI BAM! BAM!..
What they mean! This incantations no idea I'm not a coder..
On the reckoning day in Mordor, they gave me a condo for been a recurring sinner..
My brain cells rhythmic firing me into a weeper..
These demons seduced me assuring I am no more a believer..
So,
Bomber me hommie for never been a winner
Wandering in holly..
Wandering in bolly..
Wandering in nolly..
I am not wandering in Norwood..
My movie a parody I am just a recurring loser..
Running and pacing to make sure I am not a quitter..
Accounting for my actions causing me unwanted reactions..
So much commotion they gonna boil me and toil me in this smouldering coal..
Worldly pleasures I am the receiver..
They conquered me hommie my demons all but deceivers..
Puppet master they rank me..
So much turmoil as they reckon me..
Traumatic events I wish on no one..
Should have listen now that is too late..
Alice we no longer in land of wonder..
Got me a condo in Mordor coz I'm a recurring sinner..
Oh! Please let me out of this ever blazing burner..
Live and let me die just not in this God forsaken burner..
Accommodate me better, don't let them prey me this is my only prayer..
In here, a day feels like the month May..
So, living everydays a long way to go and night even longer..
See in here mummy, I don't have any mojo..
My legs oscillating hanging higher up from a burning hanger..
BOM BA CHI-CO CHI..
LOM BA CHI-CO CHI..
CHI-CO CHI.. CHI-CO CHI BAM! BAM!..
This incantations no idea I'm not a coder..
Poor me, oh! Mummy, I am a convicted sinner..
See in here mummy, I don't have any mojo!..
Am a recurring a sinner..
In Mordor they put me in condo coz I'm a recurring sinner..
On the reckoning day they put me in a condo in Mordor for been a recurring sinner..
REIGN IN HELL OR SERVE IN HEAVEN?

Sinking
Deep in the shadows of the mind
Where chains of time doth ever bind
There lies a home, a dwelling place
Where darkness reigns, and cold embrace
Bittersweet memories linger there
A beating heart that's filled with despair
A reality that's hard to face
A facade of hope, a mirage of grace
Oh, how he longs to wake from this dream
This endless cycle, this drowning stream
But whispers from within his soul
Keep him bound to this endless hole
He yearns for light, for hope, for peace
But darkness is all that he can see
And so he lingers in this place
A prisoner of his own disgrace
And thus he'll stay forevermore
A captive of his inner war
His home a prison, his mind a grave
No hope, no light, no soul to save
Where chains of time doth ever bind
There lies a home, a dwelling place
Where darkness reigns, and cold embrace
Bittersweet memories linger there
A beating heart that's filled with despair
A reality that's hard to face
A facade of hope, a mirage of grace
Oh, how he longs to wake from this dream
This endless cycle, this drowning stream
But whispers from within his soul
Keep him bound to this endless hole
He yearns for light, for hope, for peace
But darkness is all that he can see
And so he lingers in this place
A prisoner of his own disgrace
And thus he'll stay forevermore
A captive of his inner war
His home a prison, his mind a grave
No hope, no light, no soul to save

Six Pleonasms in Search of Euphemism
Let's be honest
as in political correctness.
Politics lie!
Let's go outside
of this prison...
and save ourselves victims
of an innocent thief.

Prisoner In My Mind
Prisoner in my mind...
All In time....
A disaster you will find.
Through deeper depths,
I let you intrude, becoming a
Prisoner in my mind.
For this I truly regret.
What will happen next...
A disaster you will find.
Manipulation, your greatest strength.
Somehow, you made me a,
Prisoner in my mind.
And after all this time,
Letting you deep inside,
A disaster you will find.
You called me worthless.
Believing that, also made me a
Prisoner in my mind.
A disaster you will find.
All In time....
A disaster you will find.
Through deeper depths,
I let you intrude, becoming a
Prisoner in my mind.
For this I truly regret.
What will happen next...
A disaster you will find.
Manipulation, your greatest strength.
Somehow, you made me a,
Prisoner in my mind.
And after all this time,
Letting you deep inside,
A disaster you will find.
You called me worthless.
Believing that, also made me a
Prisoner in my mind.
A disaster you will find.
