Hostage of our past ...

Aren't we all ...
Hostages to our past ...
Mulling over events bygone ...
Living in dark rooms of unfulfilled desires ...
Aren't we all ...
Hostages of the past.

Bound by invisible chains of thought,
Hanging from a noose ...
Tightening every second ...
Waiting for the plank ...
Beneath to be pulled ...
Just waiting to be unplugged ...
From the source of Life.

Living a Lie each day ...
Burying emotions deep...
Hacking feelings every moment ...
Bearing aches within.

We are but a Hostage to the past ...
Our pasts ...
Playing havoc ...
Our present being disturbed ...
Our future being destroyed.

We are a hostage of our past.
