My Lonely Cage (Challenge Poem)
(Remorse) The four walls that cage me in My home for acts that were a sin I was not in control when I carried them out Inside my mind – I heard voices shout They argued to-and-fro of the act Though my guilt was matter-of-fact So now I face this life of seclusion For what was - just a temporary delusion A lonely life with no love or freedom Victim of my mind’s fragile pendulum That switched from reality to fantasy Guilty by morals, law and philosophy Safe and secure in my prisoners cell No one to listen to the remorse I tell Full of regrets for my victims strife Nothing around so I can end my life How did I get here – I’ll never know The pain inside with no one to show My future’s mapped to my dying day Because of one moment – that went astray Copyright © Andy..Harding Written January 14th, 2002 © on Jan 14 2002 04:49 AM PST, Andy Harding 0 • 1 • 10
