The Difference Between Prison and You
written by breakmyheart03:29 PM 3/1/05I was so glad to go
it didn't phaze me,
in fact i was psyching myself up for it.
So I wondered why I cried
when i realized that this would be the last time
we'd be all together.
Gathered in these halls.
That had kept us safe and close
for so many years.
But now we're leaving
and life away doesn't seem so glamorous.
That curtain of sequins,
wrapped so intentionally around
that place,
just to deceive me.
Drag me away from you.
Tear us apart.
Now I'm wishing I had never left,
wishing I had held on for dear life.
It's hard to know that I've been tricked
into leaving you,
my friends,
my sisters.
I'm here,
and unhappy,
and there's nothing I can do about it.
There is no escape,
I'm trapped in this prison of books
This final, absolute place.
Where everything seems so cold
Already this place has hurt me
I've been stoned with the heavy bricks
that were used to build this godforsaken place.
Held in the hands that belong to my
"friends"
The people that I've forced myself to trust.
Now I realize
it was so wrong.
It was so daft
to make this horrible decision.
I would rather be dead than
here. |
