The Prison

  • The Prison

    That window is my only true freedom
    With varied lines and shadows, dawn to dusk
    The unexpected keeps the mind surprised
    In a body that only lies, lies, lies.

    Though my limpness plagues my arms
    A peek beyond, at these scathing stars
    Redeems my sullen fright of night
    Gives me the urge to fight, fight, fight.

    Sleep avoids my desperate soul
    All these yells and smells of rampant mold
    And unseen sights keep me awake
    Which leads me to fear my fate, fate, fate.

    My keenest sense amplifies the roars
    Such a clamor of cries, gurneys, and doors
    I dream of bridal bells and household chores
    And though this helps, I yearn more, more, more.

    Tomorrow will be too familiar
    Only the window's wind will keep me alive
    Not days, but moments make me thrive
    If I only age in moments, let me die, die, die.
