I built these bars of confinement around my mind, bars of my own making. Confined myself to this cage, this confinement of pain and regret, nobody to blame but myself, at least make it to where there's no more room for anymore thoughts of bitterness and the pursuit to confine myself to harm myself. As the regret builds up the cage of confinement, it gets smaller as I bigger, no where to run, nobody to cry out for help. My regret and pain makes these bars get closer to where I can't see my reflection through this darkness, confined to a place that my mind is telling me this is it, it's where you belong.
As the minutes pass me by the more my confinement gets the best of me, forced me to sell my faith and realize that I don't know who I am anymore, I lost the only person who could make this confinement collapse...MYSELF!!!
