My Own Prison

No worries of time and necessities
My body does the days,weeks, and months
My mind is sharpened with the knowledge i receive from observation
My foundation has been rebuilt with Honor,Trust,Loyalty and Love
I honor God for the place he allowed me to be
I trust I will be safe when others say i will never be
I am loyal to my feelings of right and wrong
The influences around me are tremendous without a doubt,
but I love God and that's what it's all about
I am tired of calling myself a number when were at count,
So I escape off into my mind where my freedom is found
The ironic situation is there prison keep us in and mine blocks them out
