Captivity

Captivity

Captivity is more than just a cell,
A curse within oneself is just like a spell,
Mental disorder, is what doctors will say,
But freedom is all what a soul will yell.

Captivity, Imprisonment, Custody, Detention,
Whatever you mention, all that's desired is prevention,
Dimensions within a dimension,
Dreams are the only received attention.

A Soul needs free will, heart needs the light,
The mind yearns gracefully for the only flight,
Our eyes burn from left to right,
Only to find the way out of this spark

Whether you're out, whether you're in,
Captivity is everywhere not only to be seen,
It lives within a bean; it grows beneath the skin,
It survives in the scene; the color isn't only green.

Captivity, Imprisonment, Custody, Detention,
Whatever you mention, all that's desired is prevention,
Dimensions within a dimension,
Dreams are the only received attention.

Coffin is captivity on its own different form,
It confines the corpse from escaping the worms,
It decays in ways, not pleasant only to germs,
Even Immortality can't escape the swarms.

Death is the only voice, which calls out to a creature,
It appears in forms, and looks like a teacher,
It fears no spear, and continues its lecture,
"Follow me" is the only words said by the preacher.

    I love the first paragraph a lot. I love the descriptive words you chose . They all made it seem like a storybook. I like how you dove deep into your emotions and put them on the poem . Thats really cool. So overall I really like the poem.
