“Incarceration # 2”

Happily ever after,

I hope my life will be.

Someday I’ll be free—

I’ll be home—

A changed man.

You’ll see!

I wish I was smarter,

Way back when,

But I sit here in a cage,

Lonely,

Because I fucked up again.

I know it’s my fault,

Though I put the blame on others.

Now I’m tired.

And when I sleep,

I sleep hidden by dirty covers—

Sheets:

The only things between me

And this insane world.

I sleep,

Curled in a ball,

Dreaming about life

Outside the wall—

Dreaming about going home.

When will this day be?

I really don’t know,

But someday I’ll be free!
