Outside of Comfort

Where did this cell come from?
Why did I choose to enter?
What was my reason?

These chains that bind me
Are but a dream
I fear to break them
And accept their embrace

This man that watches me
His eyes are invisible to all
He has two faces
One that imprisons me
The other my savior

These walls that hold me
Are easy to break from outside
But inside are stronger than steel
Sit me down and my spirit broken
Too weak to move the wall
My body strong but moves not to freedom

My captor waits with me
Building me up
Then knocking me down
What does he want?
I know not

I am tired of this cell
Of these chains and of these walls
They appear as a fortress
But are made of paper

I take a breath and step through them
I face my captor and fight the battle
Scars heal but freedom stays forever
