Question:I'm locked up in myself,
Trapped in my mind,
I see life moving forward,
While I lay suspended in time,
With every breath expended,
My incarceration is extended,
Days, months, years, eons,
All because my by-gones won't be gone,
I see so clear with my eyes wide-shut,
And I hear better when I don't listen so much,
Everything and nothing have merged into one,
Who is this prisoner that I have become?
I hid my heart, now my heart hides from me,
Wore it on my sleeve, now it wears me
Out,
No Way out,
No liberation, no free,
How do I escape when I am running from me?
Me, Myself and I -We just can't seem to agree.............

Suspended in Inner Agony
Self Struggle
Prisoner of Me
No Escape
Happiness on Hold

Prisoner? Imprisoned?

Corpse of Freedom

Running from Forever

Alcatraz

An obvious title would be "No Escape" (or "No Escape From Myself")( "Running from Me")
I felt myself really relating to your words as I read your poem. It flows very well and then there is the jolt of "out" which works very well to draw attention to the "No way out ....." theme defining sentences. Did you mean to say "not free"?
All in all a really good work that I enjoyed very much. Thank you.

Well, I feel like I am not good enough to comment on anyone's poetry any more but I'll give it one last try. I think, in my own opinion it's a good poem. How about, My Prisoner- Myself?
