Prison In My Mind

            PRISON IN MY MIND

  I stay locked within my room,
Four walls that protect me from the world outside,
My heart filled with only gloom.
Couldn't break away no matter how hard I tried.
The world is a big and scary place,
People all pass me by.
How can I ever break away,
From the prison in my mind?
 
People that love me, I can't see.
Masked behind a shroud of misery.
Why do they all laugh and smile?
A foggy look at the world outside,
Makes me pull back and hide.
How can I ever break away
From the prison in my mind?
 
One more shot, that's all that's left,
One more hit in that piece of glass.
The fire is rushing to my brain.
My heart is pounding as I scale the wall,
I can see the stars, then I start to fall.
Why is there no pain?
The darkness comes to envelope me,
An eerie cold grip that I can't see.
Now, freedom finally comes as I slowly break away,
From the prison in my mind.
            Good-bye My Love....
