He locked his doors to keep people away
He locked his heart to keep from knowing the pain of love
He locked his mind to forget that he once had a choice
Because all choice has long ago abandoned him
Now he is a prisoner to his seclusion
He locked his doors to keep people away
He locked his heart to keep from knowing the pain of love
He locked his mind to forget that he once had a choice
Because all choice has long ago abandoned him
Now he is a prisoner to his seclusion

Life is a story, waiting to be told
Daydreaming and then, maybe, writing a poem about it. And that's my life.
Our thoughts define us, so let's focus on a few.

Nice poetry Jerry. I guess this could apply to all writers, being locked inside their own minds with their own thoughts, creating their own worlds.

So very true. One of the benefits of writing…if we don’t quite fit into the world we live in, we can just write ourselves another one to escape into.

We can all relate to this OR we know someone like this.
Sad.
If you wrote this about yourself, I have extra (((HUGS))) for you.

I will take the extra hugs. But I think all writers are recluse. We spend more time inside our own heads that with others.
