A frozen statue within my soul
a calm laughing facade
a mask
outside I flourish
inside I decay
without a chance
to escape
from a self built prison
made just for me
by me
to keep others out
of the true interior
and by doing so
make the true interior
cease to be

Very cool poem! Walls built to keep others out very often wind up just keeping you in. The contest image certainly had a forlorn look about it. I can see that in your words. I loved your ending, though I think you want "cease" in the last line. Thanks for entering this!
