Internal prisonA Poem by Julia LongberryLive captured or die freelyIn the prison of my mind, The chains around my limbs are useless, For my fear, my terror Is enough to capture me forever I know of my demise I can't prevent the dark blade from coming, But I can prolong the destruction A pit burns in my heart full of dreams Accomplishments that can't be done To say goodbye.. To lengthen my life... I tell a story of magic An accidental murder Followed by a purposeful assassination I speak of horrifying wonders The pain and sorrow Knowing you are racing against the clock Without trying to fight it I know, one day.. I'll have to stop running away I will accept my fate with open arms As I restrain my cries for help. I have sinned, I can't go back now I'm guilty for crimes immeasurable A hole of hatred burns through me As I dwindle down the dark pathway Afraid of my own shadow, I willingly battle death No weapon in sight, no sword in hand I battle with my prayers My hopes... my dreams I want to be forgiven I admit my wrongdoings I accept my faults Can you accept me? I have lived a life Hand-to-hand with my demons I try to drown my fears in joyous distractions, But instead they drown me in the sorrowful truth Death has come by my pure hands So injustice must be justified in the father's eyes An eye for an eye Heart for a heart I unleash my fear-filled demons They can no longer tear me apart Now all I can do is beg Beg for a life I have yet lived Wasted years spent fruitlessly Along with my time and energy But I have lived a thousand lives In the souls of whom I’ve touched My heart beats solemnly Thump.... Thump.... Thump.... Rekindle my flame before I fall Let me beat again for as I wait, With emotions restraining my soul I'm in a prison of the mind © 2017 Julia LongberryAuthor's Note
