The dungeon

by Mark Hopwood   Jun 27, 2023


My mind, the dungeon,
Damp and decaying,
Putrid smells and mould,
Imprisoning my soul for its crime.
Of life.
Chained, shackled and left to rot,
My mind the dungeon,
Stagnant water trickles down cracks in the walls,
No light, no sound,
Other than the many voices,
So many voices.
Awaiting death,
My mind, the dungeon.

    You vividly captured that sense of imprisonment and despair within the dungeon of our mind. Intense and brutal atmosphere of constant dimness and chaos. I can totally relate to this feeling.
    Amazing poem.
    Thank you, Mark.
