Life is a prison

by Broken Beauty   Nov 4, 2007


Life is a prison,
Oh God let me out.
No one to listen,
To hear when you shout.

Climb the walls of insanity,
Ride the waves of despair.
If you fall it don't matter,
There's no one to care.

Used to wish for a window,
To see birds, trees and sky,
But you're better without one -
Stops you aiming too high.

Watching freedom is painful,
For those locked away.
Seeing joy, love and happiness,
Another price that you pay.

    God, this sounds like me a while ago. Not too too long ago, really. Sweetie, the one thing I can say to you is this:

    as alone as you feel, you're never truly lonely. open your eyes annd you will see all the people who care about you, trying to get you're attention...all the people who need you.

    Life is a prison,
    Oh God let me out.
    No one to listen,
    To hear when you shout.

    ^^ life IS a prison...but if we're here, we might as well enjoy it, yes?

    Climb the walls of insanity,
    Ride the waves of despair.
    If you fall it don't matter,
    There's no one to care.

    ^^ *gulp* i realy liked this stanza. it's very simple but the metaphors are fabulous. i thought nobody cared if i fell too. and i fall every day. i know how it is to fall and get up just to be knocked down again. but the thing is...somebody out there cares if you get up again.

    Used to wish for a window,
    To see birds, trees and sky,
    But you're better without one -
    Stops you aiming too high.

    ^^ my heart broke reading this...we'll never achieve what we aim for. but it is better to aim too high than to aim too low. you'll find that if you aim too low, you'll fall further...as backwards sounding as that is.

    Watching freedom is painful,
    For those locked away.
    Seeing joy, love and happiness,
    Another price that you pay.

    ^^ I'm in like with a boy who doesn't feel the same way. and that's what i thought of here...seeing him happy and in like with another girl...that's the price i pay...but it's a lovely price, my dear.

    good poem, honey...keep your chin up.
