walls

By Forsaken Me

every turn takes me deeper
   leads me further away
within myself
   bound by hate
it's easier to except the pain
   pull it close
this love of thorns
   chains of betrayal drag
only so far
   from the walls
am i allowed to stray
   to touch a peace
that was my soul
   a serenity no longer known
i will fade
   back within
to fight the demons alone

    Great poem, we all have to fight our demons alone, and it captured the chaos of that kind of conflict. Keep it up. Scholar
