Prisoner of your mind

 

We are all prisoners
Of things that we cannot change
Locked up in a penitentiary
In the deep recesses of our own mind

It’s possible to make no mistakes
And still fail miserably

We are all prisoners
Of things that we feel guilty about
Trapped in a labyrinth
Created by our own imagination

There is nothing in our existence
That doesn’t require compromise

We are all prisoners
Of things we desperately want to do
Entombed in a deep shaft
Dug up by our own expectations

It is good to have dreams
But be prepared for the nightmares

We are all prisoners
Of things

– S.T. Arasu
