[hometext] => I'm only a begginer so don't laugh at my poems to much...
[bodytext] => Life is a prison,
Oh God let me out.
No one to listen,
To hear when you shout.
Climb the walls of insanity,
Ride the waves of despair.
If you fall it don't matter,
There's no one to care.
Used to wish for a window,
To see birds, trees and sky,
But you're better without one -
Stops you aiming too high.
Watching freedom is painful,
For those locked away.
Seeing joy, love and happiness,
Another price that you pay.
Strong is good, weak is bad.
Be it false, be it true.
Your mind makes the choice,
And enforces it too.
Cell walls built by society,
With rules to adhere.
If you breach the acceptable,
You had better beware.
Hide the pain, carry on,
Routine is the key.
Don't let on that you're not,
What you're pretending to be.
Lock it all up inside you,
How badly that bodes.
Look out for that one day,
When it all just explodes.
Leaving naught but a shell,
Base functionality too.
But killing all else,
That was uniquely you.
So how do you grow,
With a timebomb inside?
Or how to defuse it,
Without destroying its ride?
You can't.

richard, i thought that was a very well structured, amazingly emotive poem and nothing to laugh about. u have managed to express the exact feelings of 'life in a prison' -
"Used to wish for a window,
To see birds, trees and sky,
But you're better without one -
Stops you aiming too high. " expresses exactly how its so simple to give up, or give in to these awful feelings.
"Don't let on that you're not,
What you're pretending to be. " you have captured perfectly so many feelings that i and so many people recognise and loathe.
and to the 'Guest' who thought they were being smart, it is obvious why you have nothing to comment on apart from being derogatry and silly - u cant even look far enough into the poem to see that it could be more than about a real prison. ignore this person richard, it was fab. xxx
