Captured

Shadows line the walls

When sun light fades

And darkness falls.

And into the abyss 

The tormenting pit

We find ourselves bound.

 

The ropes of doubt

The shackles of fear

The gag of hate

The blind fold of rage

Hold is down in this pit

Which becomes all we know.

 

I fight my restraints

As the words flood my mind.

I try to break free from my captor.

When I succeed I am free for a brief period of time 

But I soon will fall for I live

With the captor of my mind.
