Trapped

For so long. Words unsaid. Emotions not felt. Confusion that doesn't end. Desires controlled. Wings clipped. But more than that. Aware and unaware. A debate that has been going on forever. Right or left. Black or white. Wrong?? Define wrong. Potential? For what? A dream or a reality. True or an illusion. A belief or a fantasy.
Trapped. In thoughts that do not rest. In questions that have no answers. In a mediocre state that was never sufficient for containment of the wandering mind.
An escape. To a faraway land that does not exist. In dreams that are hard to realize. A release that will never materialize.
A peasant with golden hair. In a rough land with thorns. An outstretched hand without line of vision. A piercing glance that knows no end. A passionate heart and a ruthless mind in constant conflict. A painter, a writer, a magician. Tricks of the mind. Loss of the soul. A gripping fear and raw pain. Contradictions of the ordinary to pursue the extraordinary. A silenced scream.
Break free. Or wither away.....
