Cell Block 6-3

The coldness I feel from the 
steel doors remind me of the
Bars hung from door to door.
 As the steel door slams it 
Reminds me of what I am
The sound of the keys I hear outside
My cell gives me hope of something else
A prisoner to the game 
stuck in a place where they practice 
Human shame.
Women lay silent in there cells 
confused if this is there life or hell
The nights are so lonely as you 
Lay awake and alone.
Someones cryin in the distance 
Yes there are cryin for there home.
As I close my eyes and pray to god
Please give me the strenght to carry on.
