Four grey walls and four grey towers
This is how I spend my hours
That time steadily devours
As I fade away.
I sit here in my yellow room
As I feel my impending doom
Only this shadow to break the gloom
As sanity flits away.
Trapped nightly by this curse
Left with yarn, tasked to fill his purse
While guessing names, don't know what's worse
As life spins away.
Trapped here inside these walls
Though my sins were rather small
Saved by a cat or not at all
As he walks away.
If it seems unfair to you
Then its more than likely true
Ask yourself if you've paid your due
As equality stays away.
