Sunless

i'm in prison
no chance of
a prism or early
out for good
behavior

it seems like
years or at least
a month or a week
but maybe just a few
days that have passed

looking at
the X's on
my wall i
etched by
myself and

lost my time
lost time and
again losing
my mind that
that was never

quite right so
i must read back
my own lines in this
poem to realize i was
writing about the total

lack of
sunshine
only rain and
cloudy days but
there is no such thing

as climate
change but
i've digressed
from the fact that
the sun hasn't shone

and so without
my sunshine
through rain and
mist it will never
come come

a time
where i 
will able
to see a
rainbow
