Self Imprisonment Maverick 31 & Wiley

[Wiley]

Well Maverick I tried another of your poems!   I like it the way it was and decided maybe a different approach might be in order!   So I pretty much just set it to music and spoke it.  Sometimes the spoken word is just as powerful!!. I just thought of some sad things and it seemed to get me in the right mood! (which isn't hard to to) After listening back to it ..it made me cry so I guess I accomplished what I was after!  So I hope you like it Maverick!  Again great writing!
Thanks

Self Imprisonment


I suppose somewhere inside me

I yearn for freedom from

That which holds me stagnant

Over exaggeration turns underestimated

Emotion...

Why the urgency to hide and

Slow the flow of that which could

And perhaps will, improve and

Heal the burning inside

I am protecting my Pain

It is mine

And I so badly want to keep my

Pain to myself

But in doing so I am hurting

So many who cross or care for me

Aching for love and acceptance

Only to throw you down in the latter

Of love and shared love

Yet anger and guilt not shared between

Me and you

You are blamed for all that is a mystery

Within myself – Burning

Oh I beg that I might someday

Throw a blanket over that angry child

If the strength is found within the

Core of my being...

Tears soak my heart and weight

It down

I am tired, I am numb and I am so very, very lonely

I am...

Really really good take on this PJ. The playing is so expressive and sympathetic to the words. Great job.

Very nice weeping guitar work there PJ!! 

And the cool synth & drums form a nice plate to serve up Mavericks deep heart-felt poetry! 

Nicely spoken over your creative back drop - very imaginative & melancholy lyrics....

Some of my favorite lines:

...You are blamed for all that is a mystery within myself – Burning...

...Oh I beg that I might someday throw a blanket over that angry child

...Tears soak my heart and weigh it down

I really, really loved the way you did this... I love spoken poetry with music in the backround... like Jim Morrison's American Prayer! Thanks a lot PJ!
