Imprisoned Child

Deep in the caverns of the mind
Are the stories of the past
Some wonderful some that aren’t
Time should have erased them

A trip inside of someone’s mind
Can be a treacherous journey
One of horrors and pain
That shocks the senses

The deeper you delve
Into the depths of the mind
The more dark and sinister
The stories that remain

Locked inside and away
From those who judge
Are the pains and sorrows
That creates mental fog

Fallacy and heartache abound
Discovery of the inner child
Sets all the demons loose
That paralyze the spirit.

Locked away so deep inside
Struggling to saw through bars
The imprisoned child struggles
Against a self-imposed jailer.



 Courage is the price that life exacts
for granting peace with yourself.
--Amelia Earhart

This was magic  
The fifth stanza music to my soul  
Bravo!!  You should be mighty pleased with this one!!  


 What the inner voice says will NOT disappoint the hoping soul.

I wish I'd written this! Excellent work.

 It matters not how strait the gate;
How charged with punishments the scroll;
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Shawn, Your words

***Discovery of the inner child
Sets all the demons loose
That paralyze the spirit

Speak to where you are going,....
Get the key, open the door, and stop the paralysis!  You have got it in you!
BRAVO!  I can read your wheels spinning...continue the process, my friend, continue the process!

Dear friend, this should be in "New Beginnings" if there was such a thing,  not  Dark Passions.....

You are coming out of the dark, that little child does not have to reside in the shadows anymore.....
