Free, But No

Passed, words confirmed, where do I turn Wheels of confusion astride my time Now knowing my tomorrow's being As I await life's minutes in reflective remind Awakening the next morning I'm graced by the sun Absorbing it's warmth as I neglected before This all means so much different than previous days For this time I'm captured now knowing life's score The key in the door starts my palms to speak As the Warden confirms, hey' Fraser it's time Turned, now returned, as I hear ratchet sounds Walking such corridors hearing negative chimes Cocky I say Hi, as I'm instructed to remain be Hence their almighty be they sure inform me Sitting you'll be amidst arched back becoming so proud For you'll absorb said electrics throwing you aloud Seconds to minutes as I stare from whom I've taken Kaleidoscopic views now attract my visions aplenty Internal droughts apprehend me as I walk cuffed Now knowing my inept, soon deserved to be empty I'm now counting the minutes as to where I'll demise To all my all out there I've no favour for your cries. 8/5/2017
