Prison of my Mind (09/15/2009)

Prison of My Mind
09/15/2009

I see you
See you there again
A rush of emotions begins
My heartbeat increases
Increases as I remember...

It all comes flooding back
I am overhwelmed by the past
Overcome by all my past emotions.

Reason has no place here it seems
For I am taken back
I am chained down
You have this draw over me

I sit
Trying to be reasonable
Trying to make sense of it all...

Why did things turn out the way they did?
Why do people play games?
Where is honesty?
Where is... ME?

Where am I in all of this?
Where do I fit in?
Where do I go from here?
How do I break out of this emotional,
This mental prison I find myself?

It is You,
The Other who put me here,
Who drove me behind bars of unanswered questions,
Who locked the door of rejection,
Leaving me stranded.
Leaving me wondering back and forth,
Pacing in my own mind.

You led me by the hand into the room,
Then ran away saying nothing,
Leaving only silence behind...

I tried to reach you,
But I could only reach so far...

You went away, you left,
You locked the door,
The door I must now try to open myself...

I pound and pound,
I cry and weep,
I throw myself,
But the door seems to keep.

But I won't give up hope,
For there are OTHERS,
OTHERS to help,
OTHERS to hear,
OTHERS who will help me,
Help me when I am in need...

I see the blissful day,
When the bars fall,
When the door slams down,
When I find myself free,
And finally, finally Can BE.

~ Daniel

my favorite stanza. i relate to this one the most because often when i hide inside myself i never seem to say that it is myself who put me there, but i find fault in other people.

@riahlOmeal - 

THANKS for the comment and for reading... I think the most honest and difficult thing to do is look inside ourselves.

And just an writers/editors note here: I wrote this after seeing a girl I was interested in last summer... things didn't work out cause she didn't feel the same as me and said she wanted to be friends. Occasionally we may hang out in groups but she has basically cut me off from her life, unless I call and she happens to answer or she may respond to an e-mail like once every few months. It sucks to be shut out, not only as a romantic interest and but also as a friend, so that's the fire behind this flame of a poem, ha ha. It was only after that I noticed the undertones that could be taken for struggling with self and also struggling with ones faith, between spirit and flesh... Writing is cool like that many times...
