Self-Containment

He is stomped on He is hushed He is pushed into a corner He wants to fight He wishes to lash out He begs to yell and scream Yet he is silenced He is forever silenced by his own self His self whom hinders him How can he fight himself When he himself is unaware That a fight is required? He hides himself Within himself Behind walls of protection He imprisons himself Within his mind Behind the bars of limitations He must let himself free So he can feel freedom So it may kiss his deprived soul He will be set free... One day... That day will be the day That he wins the fight against himself.
