A Poem for anyone who has ever been incarcerated! |
Frozen All time has stopped moving for me I live on my thoughts and past memories My body is trapped and over working my mind My only escape is flashbacks through time I try reading book, playing cards and bones But at the end of the day I still can’t go home When I lay down to sleep, I still get no peace Cause I wake in this place and forget all my dreams I feel like just screaming, but what is the use Cause I’ll still be a victim, of this corrupt systems abuse Sometimes I wonder, what the hell have I become For the government to trap me, and take my heart from love A part of me is angry, and filled up full with hate Another part is lonely, and just wants to escape But my greatest part’s determined, not to let them break me I’ll just sit here and slowy wait, until the day they take me On up out those gates, but till then my time has frozen So I’m going to do my time, sit on back and just keep hoping For the brighter days to come, whenever that day is I’ll get on out and buy some time until I’m forced back in I guess I’m frozen……..
