Prisoner

Constant contradicting thoughts, What was prohibited is now not law, All the kids they laugh, All the kids they stare, I just try to be happy, I just try to be free, Since then, from this prison, That I'm locked in, They won't let me out, I got nowhere to go, This has become my home, I'm still a prisoner, For all the sins and the pain, I'm still a prisoner, It's written on my name, My identity, Numbers they gave me, My identity, Means that I'm not free, Whisper not a single word, Silence has become my virtue, How else do I fight, get through, Their law suffocates me, no truth, Their law is against me, I don't know what else to do, I'm already a prisoner, For all the sins and the pain, I'm already a prisoner.
