Gods

Four walls, devoid of life,
My mind mirrors this depletion of happiness.
Should the heart cling to these empty walls?
Or should the fingers dig into ash skin, dying the tips red?

The claustrophobic environment 
Has shackled the free spirit.
If bars appear, slanting across the empty chasm,
Shadows will play.

The mind can appear barred,
Despite the fluidity of the body.
Oh, the wonders that may occur,
When the mind is aware of its freedoms.

Demons may stalk,
Yet they cannot cage an everchanging Human.
For to be human, one is made of the fabric of Gods.
All demons fear angels and Gods,
So why not your own?

As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods; they kill us for their sport. William Shakespeare Perhaps we are more like Gods then we ever dare to presume. Excellent work.

A well written poem full of inner/outer thoughts pertaining to this and the other world. I love your writing!

very good. i can almost feel the despondent mood. reminds me of being locked away in my dorm room trying to get in the mood to study.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
