Locked Up Poem by The Poet Darkling

Locked up by my own hand in armored ties
Under the scrutiny of unkind eyes
All my old demons begin to arise
And form a loud scream from innocent sighs

Locked up in my own hell, suffering pain
Nowhere to hide and get in from the rain
Can feel myself breaking under the strain
As doubt slowly eats away at my brain

Locked up in this prison made just for me
Where it's cold and dark I just can't see
I strain at my chains, but I can't break free
And the Devil's angels won't let me be

Locked up forever in lonely despair
A deep pit of horrors, no light shines there
Where I gnash my teeth and pull at my hair
And self-pity leaves me gasping for air
