Prison

Iron bars clanking

Frustration in my veins

Tired of the darkness 

The old, boring games

Colourless dreams now fading too

Leisure is something I can't recall

My friends and family hate me

I'm like a forgotten old rag doll

I'm a caged phoenix at heart

One not yet risen

And I'll spread my wings and fly again

Once I escape this prison

Author's Note

That's how I feel when I'm confined to some things.

This sent shivers down my spine!!! Loved the whole poem from start to finish! I'm so glad I came to read more of your work!

oh, thanks for all the reviews, Quartz. Do you want me to return the favour? I'll be glad to!

This is a well weaved poem. Short, simple but meaningful. I can say that all your feelings and what you want us to feel is well conveyed in this great poem of yours. DO your best to get out of that prison and surely you would be free again (:

Any kind of prison is hard to take. I like the description. Using myth and thoughts made the reader understand the desire for freedom. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
