Prison

"You keep trying to tell me?" Dont you see me in chains? You were the ones to tie me, taking my freedom away. Your both still as sinsiter, delivering nothing but pain. How can you tell a prisoner, to go forth and change? Time is flying fast, and Im forced to forge a life. But I cant do that, behind bars every night. You dont see my tears, and you never really cared. You just leave me here, your compassion is so rare. These bars are made of iron, I cant bash my head through. This situation is dire, Im losing my sanity too. I cant even tell, my time here has only risen. Save me from this hell, release me from this prison.

Hey Charles, this is a good piece. Love the view from the prisoner's point of view... I think we are sending way to many people to prison for minor things and other's get off free due to money in today's times. We can forge a life anywhere what if its not worth it what's the benefit of changing...
