Prison

The worse prison in the world has no bars But all the same leaves them scars The hurtful word All too seldom heard Puts thoughts in your head Sows the seeds it has been fed Makes one feel dumb Sometimes just numb Makes you feel unworthy to be around The victim pleads but has no sound In silence they are bound Seems no one does care To acknowledge , you don't dare No hope for a future No one there to nurture The darkness comes towards you You believe things that aren't true Acknowledge that which is fake Slows the progress of each step you take You feel you are drowning The world stares at you frowning The darkness takes hold Can't hear a word your told Stop feeling so bold No where is there light Darkness so thick it's a visible fight To fight this all day To not give in and let it have it's way Strength,down deep inside Becomes your guide Leads your way Helps you survive the day Thank yourself for this gift Use it to give yourself a lift .
