PRISONER SOUL
©1998 Stoneclave, Inc.



I've locked my soul in a cage
   like a war prisoner
as the battle rages on within me;
   who I AM
and who I want to be
a battle for freedom
   I cannot admit that my
selfish desires must lose
lest I lose my self

my soul

in the process.

I have the key.
Why am I so afraid to use it?
To open the door of that cage and
   become One again with my Spirit?

I cling to the petty things I've spent
my life gathering,
   knowing
they will not last.

And that which lasts forever
   that which can make me immortal
I've imprisoned.

When will this battle end?
When will I find the courage
   to use the Key?
