Behind The World's Bars

A Poem based on the restrictions a person with a few differences faces due to society.

I feel like a prisoner,

Stuck inside a jail.

Just rotting away.

Awaiting bail.

 

I can’t get out because of the way, society will look at me.

Even though I’m past caring in what they see.

 

I’m stuck here because of the people I’m associated with.

Will suffer if I’m free.

And will go through a lot of s**t.

 

I’m going to die around these blunt black walls.

Suck forever within.

Still Behind These Bars.

Suffering because of some unknown sin.

 

Life is my prison.

The world my jail.

Death may be my freedom.

Since there is no help to which I can avail.

Author's Note

The rhyme scheme's mixed up. It was intentional.

Wow, that was really good! I like how you mixed up the rhyme scheme. It makes you unique and different from other writers. The 1st 4 lines are def. my favorite. I'm sure a lot of ppl feel like prisoners in todays society since a lot pf people are afraid of seeing something different. Great good. :)

[Coyote Poetry]

A excellent poem. Disappointment in every line. Hunger to escape is the feel of the poem. Description and story is outstanding. Death is not the freedom. Education and willingness to work hard. Thank you for the powerful poem.
