Poem - Prisoner

Here is another poem in which I likened myself to a prisoner and expressed the desire to be free.

PRISONER

Locked up inside myself,
I look at the world around me.

I see.....
cars, trains, jets, lights, buildings,
signs, machines, money and people,
all rushing by - so fast, I can't see.

I hear....
horns, whistles, bells, motors, sirens, alarms, shouts, screams, coughs & voices
all talking - so loud, I can't hear.

I feel...
so lost and frightened, smothered, defeated, unimportant and uncounted.

Where are the mountains and trees, the rivers and oceans and fields and prairies?

Where do I listen to hear the roar of the sea, the wind and the birds and to hear myself think?

In a world of mass confusion..
Where do I fit in?

I WANT TO BE FREE!

I created this blog as a way to organize my thoughts and feelings. While I recognize that my feelings have room to grow in a different direction, I am not keeping this blog as a place to seek advice. I have a therapist who is helping me to grow at a pace that is comfortable for me. Encouragement is welcome. Advice is not!
