Prisoner of DarknessA Poem by Stevo The POE-tI Was Once Told That I Was A Prison Of Emotion That my eyes are locked with a padlock The key was thrown away years before She says that I need to cry more than I do But I'm scared to death that I'll end up drowning I have a rib cage made out of prison bars Her hand rattles the bars in hope of a conversation My Soul Has A Firewall Set To Private If I unlock my walls I'm petrified... Petrified I won't get them back up in time And you'll run away in fright from my faultline Over The Years I've Set My Heart Inside Of Concrete She believes I never listen to what she is saying Little does she know I have record payers for ears And her voice constantly plays in repeat I'm scared that she'll see the true emptiness inside of me That the abyss has actually consumed my own paradox She tells me that I need to open up more and speak freely How can you muster the words "I'm not good enough for you" My Words Break In Fragments Of A Language Of Darkness That's just it I'm a prisoner of my own darkness And the darkest caverns of my being I created I've locked myself in solitary confinement Without intention to be released, A prisoner of darkness Someone Doing Life Without The Possibility Of Parole © 2015 Stevo The POE-tReviews
