How many of us feel like this sometimes?
Just another reason for writing these rhymes,
We're crying for help, we're trapped in our world,
Where the safest place to hide is in what our minds unfurl.
In my hiding place all I hear is the sound,
Of water crashing over me as it cascades down,
Just waiting for a brave knight to come set me free,
Lead me from this daydream, come accept my key.
In return all I can give is my heart and my soul,
And a promise that I'll never stray, you're the only one I'll hold.

Yes, we all feel like this at times don't we! To give heart and soul is a wonderful thing if it is cherished. Nice take.

wonderful piece. I like the rhyme gives it a flawless flow. and the ending is good. I like to hide in my mind too. I guess we all do.

This is pretty good.I think that this is really sweet that you give that one simple promise it is from the heart and shows alot of courage.Most people would not put themselves out their and promise something so hard to keep.But you show a great love here.Lookinvg for that knight is one of the hardest things to do when all you see around you is depression and pain ,and knowing if you have found a knight or something no body wants to have to go through is hard.Glad that I got the chance to read this.Goodluck in the contest.
