Prisoner of Doubt

Prisoner of Doubt

Like you are on this earth only to suffer
Looking for ache to add to your own
Escaping the friend with aid to offer
Thinking you must live in pain all alone

Only an occasional bask in sunlight
In an environment you cannot control
Your willful bondage is your plight
Life is constant misery without a hand to hold

See yourself from afar like someone else in the room
With your true friends, perceive the light of your soul
Trust the glimmers of hope--let them pierce your gloom
Allow a higher purpose to be your goal

Take hold of arms of mercy so often held out
You are worth the gifts you possess--believe you are able
Be free from your prison of despair and doubt
Partake of the joys that have been set at your table

Well I liked that A _ B _ A_ B writing scheme. It seems the person in this poem is in a upside down world constantly torn apart by their own doubt to do things. Maby a feeling of being all alone is caused by this?

Hey, thanks for your post, it is good to hear from you! I hope you liked my poem.
My subject lives in an enviroment which has been difficult to say the least, comparable to none other. I can understand how that would be lonely, can you?
