Freedom Laurena Pamela Willetts Poem by Laurena Pamela Willetts

I sit in my cell alone and lonely
With only my thoughts to keep me sane
The world passes by ever so slowly
as I glance outside through my window pane

Life goes on no one seems to care
They call it justice but it feel its unfair
They say I have to pay for my crime
don’t they know I paid overtime

A lifelong burden hanging over me
not knowing when catch up time would be
That awful day when I stood in the dock
Worsened only when I heard the door lock

How would I get through this I cried
I looked through the window and stared outside
Against a sky so vividly blue
a magnificent gull came into view

With wings outstretched he soared on high
Then tucking his wings went into a dive
He swooped past my window as if to say
don’t you worry I will be here every day

I will be your freedom whilst you are in a cage
I will remind you what awaits you in that golden age
When you will be rewarded with good luck charms
Where your soul mate will await you with open arms
