Personal Prison

Choose a name, and create your mask
For in the walking of the path of the fool
One must continue, for it never ends
Life is a puzzling game, don't stop to ask
Just muddle through, never transcend
Our existence doesn't come with a guide
Do we have a proper teacher of wisdom
Can we survive with only the mind inside
Prevent ourself from creating a prison
That we'll never escape due to fears
The years leave us cowed and tamed
Without walls or bars on the windows
We'll never leave, never escape
For our own walls and bars we impose
In each mind are the judges, the jury
Our minds are the witness, the accuser
Creating a prison, of personal shame
