"In the prison of my own thoughts" - Poetry with @margaretwise in Poemchallenge
In the prison of my own thoughts,
I pass the corridors,
full of darkness and uncertainty.
I'm getting lost and forgetting again.
Thick chains,
they keep my freedom.
Thoughts are swirling,
they explode and die.
Words want to fly,
shout the truth out loud.
The lips are silent,
too weak, too scared.
From behind bars my ideals,
battered and destroyed.
Faith and Hope,
Degraded, swept away.
It has come to live in the dark,
I am closed in my own shell.
Watching how freedom dies
and my eyes are tearing.
I'm not guilty of anything
and yet striped clothes and fear.
I wait, maybe tomorrow
the sunshine will look through the bars
( the first photo is not mine. I just added a bit of character to compare with my poem.)

I like your poem and understand it. I don' t read poetry because I' m a bad speaker of English language and I'm affraid I will not understand what the poet wanted to say. Thanks for your poetry so normal that I could read with pleasure!
The pleasure is mine my dear friend. I am so appreciate of your wonderful words. Thank you
With pleasure, of course!
Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome :)
Beautiful work.
Thank you
Very strong and rather sad intonation!
The fact is life is quite a struggle each day for most people. How can we find the inspiration to do our utmost and to live each day positively?
It is really hard but the day will come I strongly believe in that. Sooner or later :)
