Just One Day

Laying in bed looking at the moon, As the reflection radiates off, The metal prison on wheels. It glares and laughs at me, As I dream of the way things use to be. I walk on the beach feeling, The warm sun on my face. I see myself walking and feeling, The sand as I get closer to the ocean. My sanctuary My peace My heart I smile as I feel the cold ocean on my toes. Then as if it is a cruel joke, I am yanked backwards. I am looking into the eyes of the devil. Realizing it is only the metal prison on wheels. One day I will escape this prison. One day I will walk on the beach. One day I will smile as I feel the, Ocean beneath my feet. One day. Just one day.
