Poetry Reading – January 19th, 2021
I am behind bars,
I’m a prisoner,
a hostage
In my home
There is no jailer,
there is no guard,
there is no lock
upon my door,
I am free to leave
I am not free
An unmoveable
feast of fear
chains my soul
to these walls,
I scream…
no one hears
I built this castle,
I dug the moat,
there is no drawbridge
no boat
The walls I live within
are
my comforting enemy
I scream
…I scream
