Solitary Confinement
"Solitary Confinement"
The guard said good luck as the Steele shut welcome to solitary confinement,
there intent is to kill but to me twas a thrill I finally get some silence.
I start to write with very little light and relax cause nobody else is near,
I have no choice but to listen to my voice its the only one I can even hear.
I settle in a corner not a spot was any warmer I'm content and all alone,
not another fool is screaming its only me doing the dreaming all the thoughts are my own.
What a price to pay just to pass away a day not a sole to talk to but me,
the pictures in my mind can't take em cause they're mine they're really all I need to see.
I really love the silence it surely beats the violence forgive me lord for what I had to do,
so quickly I discovered I had to save a brother who was counting on me to follow through.
It happened for a reason only I could stop his bleeding no time to second guess,
what was I to do sit there like a fool not hardly I'm different from the rest.
You can call it bad behavior but today I was a savior it was something that had to be done,
lord I figured you were busy I could see that he was dizzy besides I think I owed you one. M.Ronk
