Poetry: Being trapped

by John Hayden

Created on: August 15, 2010

Trapped inside my own illusion

Trapped inside my mind

Within the limits of this inner cell

That’s were I’m confined

Fear stops me breaking out

My chains are made from fear

Impervious surroundings

Designed to keep me here

I built this prison with bricks of doubt

And lined it with disbelief

My aspirations being suppressed

Could find no relief

I need faith to shatter the chains

And dissipate this illusion

Free me from this impostor

Who creates all this confusion

May I allay my fears and disbelief

And step outside my cell

Step straight into heaven

From a place so close to hell
