Prisoner Of Myself

I am a prisoner of my own shame and thoughts. I close my eyes, not to sleep, but because I don’t want to see the reality I live in. I feel I’m a victim. I've done what I could but now there are no options left. My love letters are written with my blood, but no one will read them. I'm trapped. I can't make any decision. I won't take action ever again. I'm useless, powerless.

Awakening

But wait... I hear a gold whisper, telling me to wake up, telling me that it's not all lost, that I should get my power back, that there is a way out of this bitter solitude. Should I lay here forever or should I trust the whisper? And you? What will you do?

Keywords

inner prison, need to see things from a new angle, stopping over-victimizing oneself.
