PRISON IS PRISON WITH OR WITHOUT BARS

Brenda Akinyi

People die physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. They are beyond the breaking point. Someone once said that you are powerless if you believe you are. At some point we are all in a prison, created by our own selves- our own making.

Fishing for compliments? It’s a prison. If you are the type of person who will set himself on fire just to keep others warm, it’s a prison. Sometimes a man’s hope is a dangerous thing. Have you ever chases something you hoped you’d find?

Got married to pretty eyes and a cruel tongue? Prison. I may look calm and stoic but deep down I know I’m gonna crush and burn.

You are a devout Christian but the devil causes you to question.

I guess everything beautiful is ruined eventually, and that the world only responds to the closed fists, not the open hand.

Again, if your mask crumbles, everything else does. Isn’t that a prison too?

I’ve come to learn that you can hurt yourself when helping others, and in the process, hurt them too.

So, what happens when we design our own prisons? Sealing our own fate? Can we come out of this with clean hands?

Sometimes the very prison you created by yourself, will not let you come out in your own terms. And the things we do to get out, do not sit well in our conscience. In the end, if you are lucky enough to join the Second Chance Club, you realize that not all prisons are made of metal bars.
