Clenched and Forgotten A cloud of darkness circles my mind Swallowed into this pit so unkind My punctured heart my punctured soul A feeling of loss a linear hole My unheard cries lashed through the night I stay away hidden I cower in fright A blunt metal point seems stuck in my head A dull point seems to inject me with dread Sorrow depression and rage become one Nowhere to hide nowhere to run Forgotten days of glory gone so very soon I ve abandoned so much lost such a great boon Trapped between walls crushing my mind A path to freedom I cannot find Tortured without guilt tortured without shame They have come only to make their claim Laughter and screams I endure the pain I am the master and I should reign Anger and rage flood through me Clenched fist of power is all that I see Slowly these walls all begin to crumble From the deep wretchings inside comes a rumble Vitality and strength rip through the fuzz I finally appear as the man I once was And pictures slide a flashback of my life What have I done to my children and wife All is forgotten I have stepped back into my cage These are the virtues of what we call old age Written for Nytronix 514 Paying Request Written by SNiPER iMPERiAL
