straight jacket

April 7, 2014
By Anonymous

The jacket that holds you
Controls you
Would not let you free
Just make you insane
Slowly slipping out from the collar
But can’t come out from your
Hand because they lock it to your body
They say you’re not safe
For society so they trap you in
A room where it is all white
And you wear a strait jacket
For all your life
Slowly losing your mind until
There’s nothing there and
You rock back and forth
Back and forth
Like that your whole life
Is to rock back and forth
