Prison

Like a ton of bricks
thoughts you can not escape
suicide or murder
you did not ask for it , but you know no other way
It invades
a poison
I know not the remedy to suck out a plague of the past
worse than any frogs and river of blood
my blood
poured dry to empty the poison
slithering out like a snake
in all his deception
