A prisoner of the mind
I am not.
I seek to feel again
to touch, to listen.
When I'm not with you
I'm missing..
Never made it through
I'm wishing
for you.
If you really love someone, you have to let them be with the one they truly love the most.
If you can’t let them go, then do you insist on controlling their life forever?
Do you want to traumatize and haunt their life so you’ll never leave them alone, even in their dreams?
Do you think you’re proper, fit enough to be their companion?
How do you think they will act towards you after what you’ve done?
In the end, can you really love if you only show affections behind a wall or pain?

There is no love that can be shown, if it is held against by its will to abide only by your bidding.
In sadness
In pain
In your thoughts
And scents
I find happiness
Down memory lane
Sprinkled with heartache
Like autumn leaves
On road of bare trees
Shriveling and shivering
In the cold November day
Some way

Through contemplation,
the mind leaps to its haven
above reason's gaol
A daily dose of contemplation frees you from the shackles of reason and logic. Deep reflection is great for your wellbeing.

In my shell
there is life

In my cell
lies decay

It shows itself
every single night

Then at dawn
hides itself away.

Soul bounded by lust
prisoner in a red-hot cage
where every step burns
and there's no one to trust

How desperately you want
how pointless your battle
you're the fighter
you're the jailer
oh - what a taunt!
If loving her wasn't a crime,
Why do I still feel like I'm doing time?
Am I a prisoner of my own desires?

I just hate myself.
But don’t we all.
..But don’t we all...?

This body is a prison.
No, this body is a prisoner.
This body is a is a prisoner.
A prisoner to my mind.

I hate my ******* body.
And my body hates me...

Why have I separated the two?
Celestia Jul 2020
Her brain is always overcrowded.
Thoughts and dreams and half-written poems have taken over her mind.
Her soul is made of the ramblings of a nearly mad wanderer who has been confined for too long.
Questions and doubts and anxieties plague each of her waking moments.
Stress and worries ruin the rest.
Her mind is filled with chaos and her heart with mayhem, and she would trade both for a chance to breathe freely.
My thoughts don't listen to me. I am a prisoner in my own mind. I am lost in a world of my own making. But I will look in the mirror and remind myself that I will make it.
Yours,
Celestia.
