Inner Me

In a small dark cell in the inner prison A young woman’s curled up in the corner She’s done nothing wrong to be there But people just look on and scorn her Her light’s given way to darkness you see She doesn’t know how to warm from the chill She longs to walk out, she wants to be free And some fresh food her stomach to fill With no visitors, it’s a lonely place Such a lonely place to be I know how it is to be in prison Because that young woman is me I’ve done nothing wrong to deserve where I am In the deepest, coldest prison cell People still scorn me for how I feel But my pain, only I can tell Since no one understands, it’s a lonely place It’s such a lonely place to be The prison is my body And the prisoner’s the inner me
