Prison

There's a prison within you
It guards your thoughts
And regulates your feelings
No hope in your heart

Outside its really different 
Gloomy eyes will see light
Scent of despair is a forbearance 
That allows a man to contemplate

On life and to conclude 
That's this isn't fair 
But breathe fresh air
And feel the silky grass

That prison within will crumble 
And you shall be free 
The valley of hope 
Awaits you now cherish it
