Been Through Hell

The long lonely nights, the endless mundane days
           This all feels like hell
The rules and regulations, mean and cruel ways
           I know this torture well
I put myself here, I have heard it all before
          For you my soul I’d sell
I am tired of crying, my eyes are sore
           No more secrets to tell
I miss my family and all of my close friends
            From this hellhole I will bail
I am tired of being lonely, no shoulder to lend
             I am tired of this smelly cell
Now I know that I’ve been through hell
