Lost In Mind

My mind is locked inside its own cell,

Even after years of time it still feels numb.

As a child I remember the glory of nature,

The smells , the sights and the sounds.

No-one could find me hiding behind the tree,

A sound from the house lost, caught and thrown.

Hours would pass, time never stopped,

It never worried me how cold or how wet.

But now I can't get those feelings back,

My desire to walk or leave the walls have disappeared.

I'm sad, lost and fighting for that comfort,

Desperate to feel and lose the dead inside.

Only I can help, only I can touch that inner child,

And spark my weary mind.
