Where am I now? by E.L.

7/29/2018

​I'm in a mental penitentiary, inside these walls are closing in on me
I'm waiting for the day that I can open up these doors that block the path in front of me.
My mind is blank, no normal imagery, like blurry lines that's lacking symmetry.
Unfocused thoughts of drugs and alcohol and sex in prison, what has gotten into me?

Was freed to be tricked into slavery, outcast separate from society.
Metaphorical tragic death taken me from the true loved ones that I called my family.
How can they hold me if I'm G.O.D., mistreating me like I'm D.O.G.?
The unjustice system make our civil rights invisible under this G.O.V.
​
Go to school to get trapped into slavery, higher learning for debts and poverty
Cause your status is classified by your amount of money and your amount of property.
How can this be? What are they teaching me? We're still slaves, they said that was history.
The rich stay rich and the poor stay poor. You got to be kidding me.
