House Arrest
Under lock and key
no way of escape
yet everyone else
is free to roam the streets
Sinking and sinking
suffocating under pressure
Treated as a little girl
with no escape
Can't make my own choices
Stupid me does as I'm told
Left alone in a cold house
with no love
A long time from now
till my release
it's been 22 years
with hope still far off
Many things binding me home
while the other child
is as free as a bird
How can I escape?
How can I gain freedom?
because right now
I'm rotting in prison
