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

Isolation

There’s a place up on a mountain

Or a cabin by the sea

When the time comes to stop running

Come there to look for me

I might not be the best companion

By the time you come for me

By then we will both be grey

But at least we will be free

A focused mind amasses much skill

To doubt it would be unwise

Some say it is impossible

To be free from spying eyes

This is proper motivation

All one really needs to be

With constant love and devotion

One wholly becomes free

But that’s another story

For today we’re miles apart

Take a deep breath and remember

You’ve been written on my heart
