Sugar-coated Prison Bars

A tear falls…and another… 
A tear for every dismissed dream… 
Every futile fantasy… 
Every meaningless minute… 
Every suffocated second… 
Wasted…waiting and hoping 
For an illusive life. 
An impulsive dash for freedom, 
Escape into a prison. 
With chains that clench tighter 
With every hesitation… 
Every sacrifice… 
Every gasp for air… 
Some twisted freedom…
