So hard to forget
life is a reminder
caught in a net
the shadows cast by the sun
the memories flow of all that was
unable to keep them out of view
always a prisoner without a cell
the mind imprisoned all in a newfound hell
captive, hostage, kidnapped
no guard is needed in this world of mine
just thoughts of persecution without a key
the door to salvation is locked, no escape
an endless journey through darkness
speak a truth that no one wishes to hear
there is no justice without endless cost
money for freedom but always shackled and chained
write it down as there is so much to say
words meander lost on their own for none to see
a life invisible to all but me
a world of wonder that will leave me cursed
anxiety, depression, and panic will never cease
want to move on but are blocked by the ghosts
of those who hate and their despicable ways.
your owner summons you to lie and deceive
choke me and stab me while trying to sleep
death in dreams, eyes open but never awake
angels of darkness sent to retrieve the soul
of light from that deep buried place.
angel of mercy please appear, protect the
harmed and innocent from whom they
were born to be.
