The Two Hundred Twenty First, August 8, 2011

mind does not wander
trapped within itself
unable to shift outside
prisoner of thought

walls surround me
keeping me safe within
cut off from reason
living the illusion

cannot break free
solitary confinement
holding notion captive
restricting creativity

locked away from me
as well as the rest
stagnating within
the prison in my mind

  1. The first two stanzas, with a myriad of words, ends up describing "living the illusion".

    That prison then is described as holding "notion" and restricting "creativity".

    It's confusing.

  2. safety to grow from or to be restrictive ... sometimes both ... at times none of the two even, just a known state, and dangerously close to the christian vice called sloth (? :/)
