As Your Prisoner Poem by Shane Bryan

This pain in my chest

The thoughts stuck in my head

I just wanna get out

Of this place that i dread

I cannot sneak away

So im stuck in this place

Like a rat in a cage

Until the test of my strength

That ends with me on my back

Lying beneath your feet

Where you can forget

Where I can be forgotten

But as my heart beats

I stare at the sky

Dreams of flying so high

A place where I am free

Even free of these feelings

That robs my life of joy

Like Bonnie and Clyde

With a gun to my head

Ruining every dream in the night

Until pure joy is dead

As emptiness takes over

The pain will subside

Until i am numb

Until the day that i die
