It was so quite.
Her eyes scanned the dull room the sun rays peeking through the flavorless blinds.
The cold metal that clasped her wrists causing her to shiver though she should've been used to it.
She listened in on the distant sound of the radio stemming from the cell across the hall.
She knew this song.
She treaded her finger through the thick and kinky waist length strands humming along to each lyric.
She could hear the muffled beat rather well through the sounds of her strained chains.
It was that one H.E.R song that talked about coffee in the mornings and umbrellas which she'd learned from Rae next door.

She wanted to trust people and be trusted by people.
But she couldn't no matter what she was a black skinned animal in a white man's cage.
Or at least that's what it felt like.
She knew she wasn't crazy like the world made her think.
She didn't need the pills they pushed down her throat or submerged to hide in her glasses of water.
