that, which holds me

These barricades
which were mounted,
for liberty, 
freedom,
exhilaration,
stifle and besiege now,
like an over-possessive
parent,
an obsessive
lover, reducing my 
self, to a
concentrated, amalgamated,
insipid residue, 
gathered at the 
bottom-most pit
of life.


Thank you Thursday Poets Rally for the Perfect Poet Award

  2. Is that what it conveys? the poem?
    I would think it conveys the contrary. That it is not the whole world. ?
