...soul scary songs


P R I S O N






















Now, behind bars

- no mercy.


"Now you are

in your own prison,

built by yourself.


No alibi,

no excuses.


no escape."



Life itself


as the ultimate


POLICE FORCE.

This has a cool, stark visual layout. The huge empty space before the word "PRISON" makes the isolation feel real before you even get to the text. The idea that life itself is the ultimate police force is also genuinely strong. But the middle section loses some punch by over explaining. The reader gets the point and then the poem keeps insisting on it. It reads more like a motivational poster with a dark twist than a full piece. Trimming the "no alibi, no excuses" section would actually make the final line hit harder.

Yes, we are all in our own prison. The mind is the jailor or the liberator.
