I am a prisoner of my own mind
convicted by personal design
to this living hell
my bars are fear
and my brain my cell
serving my time
29 years
less for ****
a life sentence
when I escape
I will fight back
with vengeance.

Until then
I survive the day
keeping fear at bay
to expand my cell
but always tagged
like a warning bell
if I go out of range
an electric shock
shoots through my veins
blurred vision
constant decisions
on this mission.

It's only a matter of hours
drained mental powers
before I'm back inside
doing my time
a mental asylum
no parental guidance
one day I will escape this
like Houdini
an escape artist
only time will tell
if I can ever leave
my brain cell.
