The Prison Within

Are we constantly building
  circular walls,
  -that we feel safe within

Are the threats contained,
  as our minds abstain,
  -in our fortress ‘void of sin'

Does the air we breathe,
  serve to then mislead,
  -forming words that echo back

Now inside a prison
  where we must serve,
  -as ourselves, we then attack
