Prisoner

Prisoner to my own mind,

Wandering for peace I know I will not find.

The dark thoughts overwhelm me.

Left to my own devices, I am no longer free.

I drown myself in books,

Fictional words full of anything from magic, demons, or poems to crooks .

Sometimes it's not enough.

I'm cuffed,

to this terrible thing called my mind.

It pokes and prods at me and tells me to grow a spine.

How kind,

this generous brain of mine.
