prison of my own making

by Antwan Fields - Aries

e-mail filled to the brim
time to just sleep
nothing at all to do today go job-hunting in the deep
time only marches on 
paying no attention to me
through the flying wind and flashing sun
not a damn thing i can see
screaming your name but in the end
i die cause you can't hear
covered with a blanket but i still
fear the abject fear
i try not to get caught up in
renouncing you with words of forsaking
but how can i do that when im trapped in
a prison of my own making
i was too shy to talk to
you but i now i do
it is now a crime
to waste all this time
no more time for anger, no time for mourning of sinnin'
walk into the sunshine
free from my own prison
that i made.
