Trapped behind the bars

I woke up on a day
Full of sorrow and disgrace
Looking at a mirror
I see a coward on my face

What have I done
How could this be
I know I will live a life
A life of misery

Why did I do this
What have I done
I deserve to wither away
And never see the sun

I truly deserve
To lose my life
To never wake up
And see the sunlight

Trapped and isolated
Behind the bars
Sitting alone
Outside is far

Cold and cracked
The walls remain
Looking at the mirror
I fill with shame

The floor is old
Cold and damp
Upon my only desk
Is a lit lamp

I sigh a long breath
And I sit upon
My chair to my desk
And write what I did wrong

Drops of water
From the sink are heard
I continue to write
Not saying a word

I regret what I did
Outside life is far
So I remaining living a life
A life behind the bars
