The Prison of Me
I have become who I do not wish to be.
Upon waking this morning I could not find me.
Instead a stranger had taken up residence
beneath machine gun towers on a razor wire fence.
Somehow while I slept a prisoner I became,
captured naked and exposed, a number for my name.
The cumulative refuse of years like a disease
had suddenly overwhelmed my inner faculties.
The circles I ran in turned around again,
enclosing me in my own hoary skin.
In what putrid lab had this creature taken shape
who now inhabited a body with no escape?
But I must confess that these bars were of my own making.
My subtle declination left me ripe for the taking.
And so in this prison I will forever be
until I learn to love the me that most frightens me.August 26, 2014
