I have set myself a goal

To claw my way out

Of this dark hole

That why when 

I write my poetry 

It comes from

The depths of my soul

Now to some of you 

This may seem absurd

But I have been given

The gift of 

The written word

And I am sick 

Being held back

Of feeling beleaguered

Anyway this not altruism

I am just clawing

My way out of this 

Mental prison

This is just another poem

Its not meant to make 

Your heart bleed

I just wanted to sow some seeds
