incarceration

A Place

The walls extend for what seems an eternity,
yet there’s a claustrophobic aura to this place.
Cold and dark
You hear wails and screams all around
Voices that you can’t identify
But they are here

Juneteenth Day

No need to tell me
that I am free
As still I sit here
In these chains

Isolation

Isolation is not good for no one
Isolation is the killer of affection
One against another grows out of
a detachment born of a separation
born from misunderstanding.
Isolation kills our humanity…

Is This Home?

Is this prison,
or is this a cage?
Is this anger,
or is this rage?

Freedom

Freedom is the most beautiful thing
I took for granted,
She was once in my life but then she vanished.
I ended in a cell cold and lonely,
I felt stranded,
feeling like what happened?
