Prison Break

By namelessmadi

Another day of back breaking pain
No knowledge of wisdom here
Nothing for me to gain
 


4 to 5 years doesn’t seem to long
But when you’re behind those bars
You become less and less strong
 


I plan to escape
And run the hell out of here
To come back to this place
Is the only thing I truly fear
 


Just because I stole from a store
Doesn’t make me a pig
Or something more
 


I know what I did was wrong indeed
They didn’t even listen to me
As I sat there to plead
 


My baby is dying at home
I can’t even see her
But talk to her through a phone
 


I was stealing the thing she wanted most
Something i never had around
Something she then could boast
 


It was a notebook
Nothing more
Nothing less
She was going to write
In her last days onward she would press
 


I was caught
And blamed for so much more
I wasn’t allowed to speak
And was shoved out the door
 


And now I am here
Dying to be with her
I feel so naked
Like a animal without fur
 


This is why I must leave this place
There’s nothing more for me here
Not one more melancholy face
 


I will be with my love
Soon enough
Now climbing over this wire fence
It going to be tough…
 


I look back to the villain
That blamed me for everything
He’s no angel
They clipped his wings
 


I paid for his price
Now I’m leaving forever
To something so wonderfully nice
 


I will save her
Love her
And read her book
It means everything to me
Something that this prison never took

    I liked this poem a lot. Trapped, confined. Can't get out, but you can't stay in. It's a hard place to be-- aching to be with the one you care about most, but always being denied.

    ...quite a story...you sound determined to break free of whatever's holding you back...

    This feels like deep maternal love aching to be near her baby. You'll be out soon and I know you'll make it count. What a noble thing to write about.
