My prison doesn't hold me,
it merely saves me from myself.

My prison doesn't shield me,
just keeps me from bad stealth.

My prison doesn't echo,
but it does make silent sounds.

My prison is my heart,
not gone just currently bound.

Even though My prison doesn't keep you away,
it keeps it from breaking everyday.

But, one thing i know my prison does do,
It makes me love me, just me, Not you.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
