Taken

Stripped away from your home Your family you have forsaken You left me all alone I pleaded for you to stop! Continue legitimately! You couldn't, you were on top. You loved your profession intimately, Sometimes more than your own family. Now forced to be a man, I must conquer this insanity. Yet I have no specific plan. You plead with the judge for amnesty “The crimes involve no violence” He is not convinced All he provided was his absolute silence He proclaims “No bail!” You are to be in jail Sleep in a cell With only unfamiliar male These god forsaken walls You wish you could scale You get harassed in the stalls Although, in your mental you thrive Your only feeling of being alive Is when you see the sun surpass the hills Your eyes see this through the fracture In the flimsy structure You are deemed an obstructer, When will you arrive at my door? I will never know But I image you deprived, and poor I get chills surging through me as I type Tears fill my soulless eyes Soulless due to the one that was taken from me My father; the one of eternal lies
