Poetry: Escape

-Prisoned Passive-

My feet are in shackles.
My hands are tied.
It does not matter.
I am always too tired to cry.

I am still here.
I am rotting in this cage.
My head has deteiorated.
I barely remain.

My skin is crawling.
I have to get free!
Is there a green pasture?
Is there hope for me?

The lock is corroded.
It has began to rust.
My whole body is crumbling.
I am turning into dust.

I have to get out of here.
I really don't mean to whine.
I am tired of being so passive.
I am the prisoner in my mind.

    ESCAPIST

    Come as you may, for I'm Quick and cunning,

    My trail seems to fade even while I'm running.
