I lay there holding my knees
For what seemed like ages to me
Peering through the bars
Looking for light
But squinting away as a Ray fell on me

Confinement is not fun, I thought
Confined not within a dungeon
But worse, my mind
I wonder its been ages
But my insecurities
being strong bars around me
Was preventing me from going out


Its not empty here
It's not silent
But lonely
plagued by thoughts
that neither let's you eat nor sleep
The sunken sockets and droopy eyelids
Shows the time when sleep was lost


There was no escape
For I was Confined within me, by me...
