Self Made Prison
By Daryl Bracken
How does it feel to know you're the
keeper of the keys?
keys that will free you from the prison of your
mind
To know that all the talking, drugs, and therapy
mean nothing
if you won't turn the key
How
can it be that you're locked away
and your guard is only you
it
is you that bang on the bars
screaming at yourself to let you out
How is it that you are so alone
in a world
of 4 billion souls
that the mere nearness of another
makes
you uncomfortable,sickens you
What events or evil has become your bars
How have you become
so separated from life
The events are from the past and the evil continues
you built the prison to protect your self
you have removed yourself from life
locked
away in a room alone
Talking to the world, and talking to no one
For they are just words on a screen
You have no real contact with people
A voice on a phone
or words flashing on a screen
this is your Prison, One you and you
alone must live
It has been built over years, most likely be your
tomb
Scream at the top
of your lungs no one but you will hear
You're alone, trapped, drowning
in the silence, Dying a little each day
No one can help you from your
self made prison
cold hard fact is You're the only one who can turn
the key

Not bad. On first read, I take the piece to be either: accusing, or self depreciating. I?m feeling as though I am the subject- meaning: I relate- (to a degree.) The only technical flaw I spotted is the "improper" use of the word 'your'. Did you mean 'you're' or am I to assume poetic license ? Please don't take offense if it's unintentional, most of us are guilty of it at one time or another, and spell check lets us get away with it.
