Winter Prison Poem by Haley Revell

Behind these icy bars
I see the world
With bitter eyes
Even the stars above
Are not within my sight
I tried so hard
I never gave up the fight

Locked inside this cell
I see white walls
Surrounding me
In this winter hell
I try to escape
No hope that I can tell
Not within my reach

Freezing cold here
No warmth inside
To comfort me
These invisible chains
Are hard to see
Wrapped so tight
I can’t break free

You know I’m alone
And I have no one
Nothing to call my own
Everything I know is gone
Can’t figure out
Where I went wrong
Chilled to the bone

I’ve been looking at the world
Through long dead eyes
I’m still not sure
What happened to my life
Feels like everyone is watching me
I’m being chastised
For not being perfect
For not being right

Locked inside a winter prison
It’s cold in here, so alone
I have nothing of my own
Locked in a Winter Prison
Freezing to the bone
Won’t someone set me free
Won’t someone take me home?
