Prisioned

Sparkling, he was sleeping

deep inside

crying out the pain he felt

and letting the world know of his conquers,

but where was the line

where he drifted from the sufferers,

where he bid the grave that called

and let his pain be the salvation.

Sure he had opened the door

to a room happiness never achieves,

and maybe he had pulled through

where most can’t,

but if he would still shout for people unaffected,

if no one heeds and he still bleeds,

than has he ever recovered

or just a cry from a soul that could never.

Emotions turn on you then

when nothing feels alright and people are never enough,

maybe we feel unhappy about ourselves

but it’s people and our expectations of them

that turn to haunt

of the existence we hold and of the prayers we call.

The tears are our standstill

that chains us into an eternity of lies and letdowns

and we never realize of the spark that we all devour

with the wall that we form

aroundus**,

withinus,

prisioning the life we could have

and happiness that gleams through pain.

The journey is like the train

and we are to choose the station

rather than watching the scenery change infinitely

and suffering from a loss

that was never ours.
