prisoners lament
I feel like I'm trapped in a box
A prison, not made of stone walls or iron bars
No guards, no locks
I'm trapped by responsibilities and past scars
This prison is in my soul
This prison is in my mind
My sanity is waning, its taking its toll
This prison, so apparent to me, but others seem blind
I'm trapped, I can't breathe
From my inner turmoil, there is no escape
I cry, I rage, I mourn, and I seethe
This is my punishment, my souls eternal rape
I'm bound by despair and invisible rope
I can't get free, no matter how I squirm
For the future, I have no hope
No, is here in my internal prison I must serve my life term.
