Sovereignty

They try to take it away

My freedom

Bars are my doors

Though these I cannot open

A room I am trapped in

My window is not like yours

Your window has glass

Mine has cold steel bars

On my skin they give me scars

And they try to use it as a weapon

By attacking my soul

But no matter how hard they try

That is a part of me that will not die

Even in this tiny room

I have a choice I am free

The moonlight shines in as does the sun

Above me the stars twinkle

And the wind flows

Reminding me that I am free

I have the choice to feel these things

And in my mind

I have my memories

My feelings of love and compassion

Behind these bars I am here against my will

For a crime I never made

Yet here I am with a smile on my face

For even though I am in this place

My freedom is still with me

The cold shackles will keep me here physically

But the lord is my Sheppard

The book I hold in my hand

Will always help me to understand

Life here

Now Is nothing but a temporary place

One day I will find my own reserve

So keep the key

You cannot hurt me
