imprisoned

there's this place
where you dwell
that is so far gone,
so beyond dwelling.

you don't thrive,
feign survival in a fit
and swear your pain
not worth a penny

but my un-knowing
in response to your
stubborn refusal
keeps me, imprisoned. 

 

Look in the mirror.  The face that pins you with its double gaze reveals a chastening secret.  -Diane Ackerman

 
*art above, torn from my sleeve, bits of my heart and a little glue

Good write!

I look at your words and relate on a subconscious level to the feeling of being imprisoned, not in the sense of walls of concrete and steel but in the self imposed bonds of my own sense of worth.
