Prisoner
Once I walked invisible
I never felt the pull of gravity
I slipped through the cracks in the wall
Shadowless, passed down the hall
Soft as a whisper on wind
A prisoner, a prisoner of my own mind
Once I thought I blended in
Like a chameleon
Kept my true colors concealed
I passed through the crowds like a ghost
Silent like some unseen host
One lonely voice in the dark
A prisoner, a prisoner of my own mind
Following this well-worn trail
I had fashioned my own jail
Now the secret is not to fit in
Or play the part of citizen
Resigned to this cell in my head
A prisoner, a prisoner of my own mind
