I hate these limitations, that these people put on me. I hate being in the dark, alone, where I cannot see. I hate these walls which contain me, They keep me deep inside. They are meant to be safe havens, But my only safe place is deep inside my mind. Deep inside where no one sees, Where no one can pry into my deepest dreams. My secrets that need never be told, Where I am free from becoming old, Or growing young, or being controlled. Where I can be happy. sad, or grim. Where the only things I fear are nightmares that grip my senses, For one day I'll escape these prison walls, But I'll never escape my mind...
