LIFE'S  SENTENCE


Prisons
Don't always come
With bars
Visible to the eye.
Many are known
Only to the heart
Allowing itself
To be sentenced
In a lifetime
Of broken promises
Of disappointments
Of hurt and anger
Until
You don't have the strength
To escape.
You don't trust the future enough
To be on parole.
You think the only way out
Is
One day
By
Penalty of death.
