Mentally encased, 6 by 6
With hope of an escape,
But only with the impending danger
Of returning
Leaving without resolution
without closure
Only left scarred with memories
Even with a new-found 'freedom'
Never actually leaving the prison.
Left confined within our minds
Even whilst unbound.
left in solitude to cope
Left to eventually drown,
Losing your last breaths,
Your last hold on sanity....
Fighting a lost war
So I wait, till such a time,
For a release unguaranteed
But will know for sure
Of freedom and peace
