Self-Created Prison- by Brandon Stephens Copyright 2013
Somewhere between past pain and future fears
The foundation of freedom lies dormant
Prison cells of self-pity and shame
Incarcerate inmates shackled in regret
Selfish motives manipulate
Seeking to serve the ego as
Mass-murder character assassins
Hide behind fortified walls of weaponized words
Tearing down others to build up self with a
False sense of security like a mall cop's whistle and
flashlight
Completely unaware that this jail exists
As a result of my own judgmental mentals
The key to the lock on this bondage of self
Is acceptance of who I am here and now
Perfectly flawed, worthlessly valuable, and
Uniquely normal in my spiritual humanness
Free at last
To joyously embrace the gift of the present
