Clamour

Not arguing today

Words get in the way

Sorry falls on deaf ears

And the world is waiting

For the clamour of the voices

To fall away 

When words get in the way

Time will not obey

When it falls away

The world stopped turning

So it gave up trying

We need to figure it out

How to stay

Before we fall away

Don't want to go away

So how do I stay

Hiding here all my days

Enclosed in your arms until night

With you eternally

Before you fall away

How do I stay

Prisoner

I feel the prison closing in

More caged day by day

Pacing the same track over and over

My confinement has yet to begin

But that word to me implies children

The one cage of which I am free

Just imprisoned by my own body

Not really enough to cause fuss

Frustrated and flustered always

Tired, in pain and alone

My prison is not my own making

I still hope to one day be free

Even though I know it’s impossible

I can always hope eternally
