Held captive inside my own personal temple
I keep myself here, only me...
I hide my secrets here, safely they sit
Until I decide to hold them for ransom,
a ransom I can't pay...
Chained and shackled in a cage of my own design.
Escape from this place is...
Impossible.
Improbable.
Impractical.
Mandatory.
Fleeting emotions keep me here
Fleeting emotions built this place
This place was built to withstand emotion...
What it was meant to keep out
is also what this temple is made of.
Which is why I'm trapped...
Which is why I can't leave...
Which is why I have to escape...
Emotion does not negate emotion;
no matter how much I may try to make it.
Please tell me what you think

I like the thought process in this poem! Emotion does not negate emotiong...but we do try, don't we? Very nicely done!

Good write. I can relate to the feeling and emotion behind it. What I really like though, is the idea that emotions are trapped in a temple, as if in reverence and worship, even the ones that you would rather let go.

this is a sad poem about being trap by your own emotions but I can relate

Hm...I totally understand in which this was written. It is a place of entrapment and yet...refuge in a sense of gaining perspectives and such. Nicely written
