Prisons

Bad guys go to jail
sick people to the hospitals
old people to convalescent homes 

each a prison in their own way.

Young mother’s trapped at home,
father’s at their jobs,  

kids feel forced to go to schools
and everyone cries to be free.

Ignorance creates barriers
as does shyness and anger
leaving personalities buried

deep in self doubt, self hate
or self loathing
crying to be free.
