My Mother's Poems

Freedom

The Poems that come next are all of my mother's. I hope you like them.

I'm in a place that's made of stone

That's nothing but torture and pain

I feel so cold and all alone

I feel sorrow and shame.

All my freedom has just been lost

Because I've done a crime

The keys have just been tossed

Now I start my time.

My heart is oh, so broken

I've got aching in my head

I wait for doors to open

So I could lay down on my bed.

But freedom is just a thought

That's stuck inside my head

I feel so damn hurt

I was wishing I was dead

But they can't keep me here forever

I'll be out someday

I'll be oh, so good this time

And that's the way I'll stay.
