let me out!!

by Antwan Fields - Aries

stuck in my prison of anger i scream but my jailer doesn't hear
let me out!! i scream, i don't want to be here
and the laughter of my prisonmates is contagious, but not of me
and i continue to scream
scraps of meat are slid into my cell but i slide them out
then think better of it and throw them against the bars
screaming without stop
and the jailer shouts he will throw me into solitary if i don't shut up
but i fight to be heard and say you've made a mistake that you put me here
but then all my cellmates and my prisonmates begin screaming with me
finally my jailer comes into my cell and thats when i realize that all my cellmates look exactly like me 
and then as they take me for my execution i notice the warden looks like me and the priest looks like me
and i scream let me out again but ive grown hoarse and then i realize the jailer looks like me
and then before he throws the switch the executioner removes his mask and i realize
he looks like me too...  

Reason for writing:

    master of my own fate...
