Can't wait to get out and end this pain
They keep me in here for over an hour
If I try to break free they'll show their power

I wait and wait without water and food
I try so hard not to show my 'tude
These people won't get my feelings straight
They'll break my spirit to slow my gait

Finally someone opens the door
I run like hell, and then some more
I'll never go back to the cage I was in
For if I did that i'll never forgive...myself [comments] => 4 [counter] => 191 [topic] => 13 [informant] => FireStarter [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Dark, but with a touch of inspiration and wisdom.
Almost a fool me twice, shame on me sort of thing.
I like the nature of the poem though.
The liberation and the rebellion are a much needed part of life.
If only I can get myself to do the same in REAL life.

Something about this reminded me of a poem I wrote years ago, back when I was in high school, that I uploaded here back in 2010, admittedly a few years after.

i'm glad this is a 'remain free' rather than a 'wish i were free' poem.
on a side note, a friend one time compared the Eagle's song 'Hotel California' to doing a stint in the joint. this poem made me think of that...
a good write. seems like you could add verses to this one for a long time coming.
