Life's Prisoner

Heart wrecked, mind dead

I think I might’ve misread

Now it left me to bleed,

My feelings mislead,

And I’ve tried to flee

So i can be freed

With a mind like prison,

My life is imprisoned.

My emotions led me astray,

Just to disobey.

My heart sway, but never obey

I feel like a prey, and then I decay. 

My heart on display,

So let me pray, but stay away.

Made a trade, and felt betrayed

Mind persuade, and life degrade

Memories replayed, 

And my heart afraid.

So I disposed of it,

And I admit, I might’ve slit 

Just to quit

And left my life unlit

Because I feel unfit 

And I’d admit, I might’ve commit

But no, cause I exist.
