Prison

Within the walls of isolation Grows an intimacy with our true self The walls reflect back an image of us That many a time we've abandoned in the heat of the moments The disloyal glamour of the world can embrace us But it is our true self that never leaves us Wherever we are it waits for the best of us The prison may cuff our hands But it won’t bind our minds We will grasp fate’s reasons from a prison And our lips will state a new cause for our freedom A new cause that will unchain us from this cell And reward our families and society with our true self
