A Jailed Soul
Dark, deep, where no light may seep
This vortex
This pit
This black hole
Forever alone, its existence unknown
This vacuum
This void
Is my soul
I've kept myself shut away
My seclusion self-inflicted
In this cell I've chosen to stay
All access has been restricted
My past is what I wish to erase
My past is what haunts me still
My past is what I cannot face
My past is what I cannot kill
So I became a prisoner willingly
I've jailed myself and lost the key
Waiting patiently in this sanctuary
Until sentence passes and I can walk free
