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
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)
