I live in a jail I made it myself From bars of fear And walls of nervousness It has locks Made of rejection fears And phobias And hangups
Can I break free? Well of course yes At any time I choose
I am a prisoner of myself A number I picked A cell I made A padded one of safety And of warmth Where no one can reach me Or touch me Or hurt me
My selected isolation My personal reality This jail of my own design That I hate But fear to leave

About this poem:
Inspired by personal feelings and also identifying with the end truth revealed at the climax of the 60suk tv series 'The Prisoner' where the late Patrick McGoohan, as 'number six' discovers he is ultimately not a prisoner of 'The Village' but of HIMSELF...as are we all...?
Draw a mental line around the Ronnie that is this prisoner, when you visit him be amazed that he shrinks every time. Eventually there's no-one to visit. :) Well that's what I would do.
