Prisoner behind flesh
By JennyTG24

Black and white is how the world seems to be
Being true to once self seems to defeat me
I’m trapped behind the skin and lies
I’m in a cell looking out though my own eyes

People coming, people going, people don’t see
Where all this torture seems to leave me
Counting every day, waiting for my last breath
I’m a prisoner trapped in my own flesh

I walk down the road in fear and despair
About all the people judging me without a care
They don’t seem to realize that im a good person inside
So i feel that i just want to go home and hide

The media puts people in categories, you see
That a man and a woman and that’s all there seems be
The media don’t show the grey in-between
The other categories, which need to be seen

Life is hard with this recession and junk
With out people adding more to the funk
But trying to be happy and living life free
Is killing the bank and is trapping me

I’m a prisoner trapped behind my own flesh
Waiting for god to take my last breath
I pray to him every night asking him why
I have this pain, which is wanting to die
