Prison of the Heart

I close my eyes and listen
Shame emanates from my heart
Fear rules my mind
It affects everything I say and do
I lash out at everyone.
I use humor and sarcasm as my weapons
Sometimes I hurt others
More often than not I hurt myself instead

I see my true self
She is trapped
Locked behind bars of fear and shame
She wants out

I see my false self
He holds the true self prisoner
He keeps her locked up to protect himself from the world
He is afraid to let her out

I’m tired of hurting myself
I’m tired of hurting others
I’m tired of being so sarcastic
I’m tired of lashing out at everyone
I’m tried of saying and not doing
I’m tired of being ruled by fear
I’m tired of being ruled by shame
I stop listening and open my eyes.
