Caged and Afraid
Caged and Afraid
Caged and Afraid
Naked and Ashamed
Dislodged and not found
Lost but not Confound
Left as the Lonely Clown
The Lonely Clown
Not Free to Fly
Fear that I died
Hated not loved
Fought the lie
Only to loose
Tears dislodged from eyes
Faith and prayer not there
When I strayed
From truth
I lost the light
From my mind
In The cell
Bathed and cleaned
Rolled over by the governmental machine
Spider crawl scared by the sun
Their mistake
But my self-worth
Turned to self hate
Judged before ever spoken
Sentenced
Justice
Our commitment broken
Gone is my pride
Time as promised
I wanted lesser
I got maximum
No name tags
No medication
No name
No phone
Location on known
The deal is for life
This conception
Of Monster caged
Just injustice
Leaves me drained
Fear seen
