CASTLE OF PAIN

Fear was my counselor,
My closest companion.
Love was like the dawn,
Sweeping over the horizon.
But I hid from it's light,
Deep within the dungeon of myself.
Strength in my loneliness,
Was what I counted as my wealth.
I built the walls,
To keep the hurt outside.
I knew the truth,
But when I spoke I lied.
Kept within the Castle of Pain,
The hurt could not leave.
My fortress from the world was my prison,
And I could not breathe.
The barriers I built,
Were thick and strong.
The reasons I built them,
Were sick and wrong.
Finally I looked to the sky,
And saw the light of day.
So here now I stand,
Sledgehammer in hand,
And I pray.
Oh Lord,
Give me the strength,
To break down these walls.
Lord,
Give me hope,
To live my life,
With my feet on new ground.

Hey, this was a pretty good poem. The first line really grabbed me especially the WAS. Breaking out of depression is harder than u make it seem in the poem, but still it was a good poem!
