behind prison doors

sitting behind these walls

has an effect on the soul

and unless you have been in my shoes

the agony you will never know



inside these rooms

is a world of its own

isolated and rejected

the truth never known



looking out the window

at a paradise so clear

watching all the action

with no sound to hear



looking into the eyes

of someone you cant touch

telling them reasons, excuses,

begging for their love



laying alone at night

waking up just the same

keeping your thoughts together

so you dont go insane



and waiting on the day

that freedom will be yours

and begin to live a life

outside prison doors
