Escaping jail

by chris   Jul 11, 2005


I'm in a strange place now
i don't know where i am
for the first time in my life
i am lost, and i like it
i am beginning to appreciate the unknown
learning that fear is good
and that you should face it
i am learning how to no longer be afraid
no longer caring what people do to me
cause it can not affect me
see my mind is my home
and as long as i have that
i am free
you can lock me in this cage
i don't care
my mind will take me away
if you get in my way, thats fine
ill just sit down right here till you change your mind
see i will outlast you cause i am free
my mind is the only thing i need to carry me

    It is great that you can honestly state, a fact which many would be afraid of themselves.

    one of my greatest pleasures in life is to be alone. i spend hours, days even, in my own company. i always have done. (exept friday nights, where i HAVE to go out????)
    you sound like a people watcher, observer, analyser, as a pose to a peoples person, you know 'live life in the fast lane' sort? everyones best mate,
    quite hypocritical of me to say so, as to be honest, everyday of my life i have been faking that smile, that pretend confidance, and they all think i live life in the fast line

    *crap!!!!, i life storied you again!!!! AAaahhhh....! sorry

    great poem,
