Prisoner

-
Prisoner of my mind,
Prisoner of this flesh and blood...

Prisoner of my ignorance,
Prisoner of my knowledge,
Prisoner of my strengths,
Prisoner of my failings...

Prisoner of birth,
Prisoner of an unknown death,
Prisoner of my past,
Prisoner of present circumstances,
Prisoner of an uncertain future...

Prisoner of logic,
Prisoner of emotion,
Prisoner of the spoken word,
Prisoner of unspoken words...

Yet uniquely free...
Free cause I’m aware of my prisons.
I try to understand...
