Breaking out | Surya T | Poetry Marathon Poem 3

Take me out of this place, I begged him
Take me out of this place, I begged him
Take me out of this place, I begged him
This prison, I must escape, I pleaded

You are in prison, I don’t commit felonies, he told me
You are in prison, I don’t commit felonies, he told me
You are in prison, I don’t commit felonies, he told me
You must be guilty, for you are in prison

I am innocent yet serving a punishment
I am innocent yet serving a punishment
I am innocent yet serving a punishment
I serve for a crime I didn’t commit

I am helpless and my hands are tied, he told me
I am helpless and my hands are tied, he told me
I am helpless and my hands are tied, he told me
I’m sorry to be helpless and without a choice

You know what you have done to deserve this
You know what you have done to deserve this
You know what you have done to deserve this
You will pay for what you have done

-Surya T
