Prisoner

I pound at the walls of my soul
Until my fists begin to bleed.
From here,
The echoes pound in my head. The noise
Begins to fade away with no hope,
For love, no chance for life, I cry..
The panic that grips
My mind would love to see me die.
But it's only cruel, unjust and a painful scheme,
Just gives some life to a broken soul.
There is no escape from my fear,
No way out of my mind.
I can hear ticking somewhere-
Somewhere, perhaps in another world.
I am a prisoner of my own mind,
I'm in my own cage, locked up.
Don't say I'm not in touch,
I'm just trying to escape-
Escape from my thoughts.
I am a prisoner now..
A prisoner within my own mind..
