Sitting in her Cell
Sitting in her cell
she pondered her mistake,
the bars set her apart
she dwelled on her self-hate.
Perhaps she should have died
her heart beat as it ached
the ferry sounds forlorn
she’ll never catch a break.
No one feels her shame
her loneliness just hurt
no one seemed to care
destruction may now lurk.
Sitting in her cell
lonely as can be,
feeling all their eyes
shackled so they see.
Loneliness has rocked
the cell so very small
surrounded as it seemed
the ferry mourns so long.
Sitting in her cell
every sound from far,
confinement stilled her limbs
it is so very hard.
