My spectacular prison


                          My prison is a place known all to well.
                    It brings joy to some and holds terror for most.
                    The air becomes heavy as I am forced to listen,
                 and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was declared treason.
                        the opportunities keep on getting cooler,
         but the techniques that are used have always been quite peculiar. 


                         I begin to ponder if it’s indirect torture,
                           taking its course gradually over time.
                        I wish that I could resurrect my euphoria,
       even so, I have to return annually and I have no choice but to keep this                    
                                              nostalgia.


           All I can think about upon entering those gates is my downfall.
       In spite of that, all I want to hear at the end of the year is a drumroll.
                     I’m well aware that it’s true and good for me,
                          however, it doesn’t hold a good tune,
                  Oh how I wish it could have been a better melody.
