Where Life Was Lost

Alumni Poetry
Where life was lost a soul imprisoned
A conscience dwelling in the unforbidden
No light to be seen no love to be felt
This dark dark tunnel a mere shell
Emotions are void the ever abyss
What goes right when everything’s a miss
My body is shackled and hope burned
The soot remains an everlasting turn
I am the puppet not the master
Chemicals the actor conclusion disaster
I am not ready for day but it cannot always be night
Now has come the time to start the fight
The chemical hooks being to rust
The shackles removed is a must
Many scars this human being to bear
The past is the past leave it there
The man who was prey to misery and fear
Now has outburst of laughing and cheer
This once lonely soul is out of his cell
Sobriety is here ring the bell
