Locked Inside

I strung a few prompts together but at least I got some thing done. So if I remember correctly there was a prompt about escaping someplace and one about a lesson we didn’t learn, Seems like we got another one in there too. obviously spoken word. I tried singing with the piano but my voice just doesn’t do that. I guess I’m still a weekly member. i’m just not sure what next week will bring, it’s crazy around here these days. But tomorrow I get to go to the puye cliff dwellings with a friend of mine and a native girl, that should be inspiring. Today was the indigenous art festival, last weekend the international literary festival, the song sounds depressing but don’t worry I’m very happy!

Locked Inside

locked inside this system
locked inside this mind
The only way I see escape
I really cannot find
been here for eternity
can’t remember the beginning
seems I’ve always been in here
this place my mind is swimming
Someone taught me once
that the key is meditation
The way out is the Way in
what a revelation
but I didn’t listen
I don’t have time
i’d rather sit here
and moan and whine
I’ll wait around for the great escape
won’t be long considering my shape
when this mortal coil I do shed
when the end has come and I wake up dead
