Barry's Cloud Poem by chris schwartz

The cage in my head
Shakes violently tonight
Screaming silently tonight
Pain that no one else can hear.
My cell is bolted
With fear
I cannot escape
I keep crying
Get me out of here.
But you
Are like the devil
Evil smiles
While I feel the knife
Close, still,
To my tender throat.
I still bleed
Every moment
From the cuts
Of my cruel past
Spent with you.
You were sentenced
To Seventeen years,
Locked up
Behind a rusty Iron door
It was then,
That I rode my cloud
With no worries.
But they set you free
I'm on the inside
Living the hell
From all your Fury.
The real me doesn't
Exist anymore.
You managed to
Take that away from me.
I just exist,
Waking another day.
I will never again,
Be free.
I will never again
Be me.
