PRISONER OF TIME 1 © 2007

Motionless, waiting to be rescued,

My gaze in shame, so lost,

Without the smile, I would have died,

Drowned in deep sorrow, without shelter.

Buried in pain, where the light does not reach,

Where dreams are lost, without hope,

No longer a child, but a shadow of myself,

I wander in silence, in a never-ending abyss.

The smile that saved me is now distant,

A fragile memory, almost hesitant,

But I still breathe, still fight for peace,

Though sadness binds me, it will never break me.
