Jail
Have you ever seen something close
and thought it would never open?
Have you felt unwanted like an outsider?
Have you ever felt something close in on you but it never moves?
Have you ever been smothered to death
but can breathe freely?
Well if you haven’t
you’ve never been to prison.

That sounds really intense and tough. It’s hard to imagine what that must feel like. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
