Containing Words
January 27, 2014
My voice speaks alone,
In a place absent of smiles,
Though not as rich as the Nile…
My words are uncaged,
Iron bars cannot contain them,
Yet in a ‘lil box still hidden…
This chain has held me,
The fire spreads within my mind,
Yet it could never tongue my bind…
My visage has died,
Write I, always in between lines,
Who can save this torn heart of mine…
Leave my countenance,
For I will pay for my treason,
Be it for whatever reason…
Please forgive my crimes,
For only you can save me now,
For all this to me you allowed.
