my body is prison
and I have a life sentence
my body is a prison
but I have to act like it’s a haven
told to be grateful for everyday
like every day isn’t filled with intolerable pain
my body is prison
but sometimes I can feel the sun
a break for an hour here an hour there
my body is a prison
and sometimes I wish it was death row
so I could eat my last meal and finally go
my body is a prison
I would love to escape
be free like everyone else
