This existance
I dwell in,
is that of a prison,
with its un-scalable walls
and un-escapable bars.
Fate is my
merciless warden
and simply living
be my crime
of passion.
Closed off
from the outside world,
I remain incarcerated
for the duration
of this life sentance.
Outside faces view me
like that of a criminal,
so I remain behind these gates,
innocent of all
they perceive of me.
I'm shut-in
and shut-out,
from a society
that sees me
as less than perfect.
