Laws were supposedly put into place to make sure society is kept safe. But how? By keeping our brothers locked up and living in constant anxiety making their lives a "Prison" cell? The system is wrong in so many ways.

Prison: where you are confined after a criminal arrest.

There, to detain you, they try their best.

Surrounding you with officers; north, south, east and west.

They say laws are put into place

for no other reason than to keep people safe

but reality says they just want to wipe that smile off of your face.

Caging people like animals behind bars.

A place where what’s yours is “no longer yours, it's ours” 

A cell that prevents you from travelling let alone going far. 

And, even leading up to your conviction, 

your happiness is made to be fiction. 

And, thinking about the what-ifs, becomes and an addiction 

Over your life they now have jurisdiction. 

But don’t let them. 

Your life is a blank sheet don’t give them the pen,

because they will have control over you then.

Your life will follow the cycle: think, sleep, wake and over-think again 

Don’t give these dogs the satisfaction.

Don’t change or cut off all other human interaction; 

you’ll give them what they want with that reaction.

Don’t over-think, 

and tape your eyes open in fear of missing something 

if you blink 

Because the secret is there is nothing they can do, 

if you don’t let them get to you. 

And, to yourself stay true,

Don’t put on a mask whatever you do 

It’s okay not to be okay. 

This is the time when you realise who will be there on your darkest day.

Keep those who will show you they care in every possible way.

If all is followed, 

Then in sorrow, there is no reason to wallow. 

It’s all going to be okay 

Because to get to you they will have no way.
