Imprisoned

Imprisoned

'Twixt darkest depths of twilight's velvet sky,
and golden, gilded hues of early dawn.
I wonder why I feel the need to try
to muddle through the muck and carry on.
 
There’s not one single soul who'll rescue me—
although I beg and plead one will, at last.
While everyone I’ve known, and all I see
point their gnarled fingers at my sordid past.
 
But I will persevere, despite the pain,
‘til sunlight once again, horizons crest.
I’ll sing and dance outdoors in pouring rain,
and never sleep until I’m laid to rest.
 
The body I inhabit's just a shell;
a soul that dwells within this prison cell.

This is a beautiful sonnet and I loved it because I know how difficult it 
is to exude a lot in a few words.
thanks for sharing.

Wow! Just amazing! I could relate to this piece some how, I could see the picture that you're painting. I liked the lines you've written 

Well everyone I've known, and all I see 
point their gnarled fingers at my sordid past
