Prison

These walls of my prison
Invisible yet there
I cannot escape them
I am locked up tight here

There is no lock
There is no key
But they hold me fast
I am a prisoner of me

I try to leave this place
A prison of my own making
But something keeps me here
Though there is freedom for the taking

What binds me here
In this prison of mine
Some unseen force
That I cannot define

Scared and alone
I wait for someone to set me free
Some angel in the night
To hold and cherish me

I will wait forever
No angel in sight
Trapped in this prison
Never seeing the light
