Poem
It was late in the afternoon, it must of been about an hour that I had arrived As I took the first step into the facility already I felt my body overwhelmed by chills I stripped to the nude, and I felt as if the scene had touched me all over, their sight belittled me I stood wearing nothing, eyes set their sight upon me, for they saw a criminal with no heart They made me dress in orange Full jump suit and feather-light slippers I was escorted to my cell Upon arrival I met my cell mate, Peter The walls seemed to take life and spoke Words of death I came to understand, and I feared for my mind Insane I was going, for I began to hear voices of sorrow and broken hearts The walls caved in almost and I felt death's grasp on my back The clock ticked and ticked, every second seemed to turn into hours Locked up where no where to go I recalled all of my fair memories When the sun once caressed my face, lips and dreams An animal I had become for nothing mattered behind those bars "Lights out" and my heart grew weak Not knowing of how to react, I began to see death as an answer For if I died I would not have to live as a caged animal Dark, lights had been out for an hour and again my eyes betrayed me I saw thousands of spirits walking the empty halls A million snoring souls slept It smelled like death was walking among the spirits of the deceased An awful sight, and I was trapped in it for the next 15 years It was now the next day and I stood inline for food Color was all inside Brown I am for that was my ticket to group Called horrible things, same sex predators all savored to my soft face It was shower time and I grew in very much fear As 100 men walked in nude to shower I fresh meat I couldn't bare it, so I entered not I met my cell mate again in the recreation room And all was learned I was to be jumped in And if I lived I would be graduation day The clocked ticked it was again 7:45pm My heart was beating really slow now The men came into my cell with chains and bats Guards stood idly by to my screams of fear I saw a bright light in all the blows I was taking I was drowning in my own blood An angels hand took me out of my body The clock ticked 8pm, may I rest in peace
