Some days you feel like the prisoner <br />Because time is all you have <br />So you sit there just thinking <br />How your gonna survive inside these walls <br /> <br />Sometimes it feel like your always losing power <br />And the people around you want you dead <br />And you can't show any weakness <br />Or the others will think your an easy target <br /> <br />You sit there in your cell and scream <br />But no one can hear you <br />Over all the noise that the others make <br />Because I am the prisoner <br />I must be bad <br /> <br />Some days you feel like the victim <br />Because all you feel is pain <br />So you sit there <br />Hoping your gonna survive the attack <br /> <br />And it feels like your gonna die <br />And there's people around you crying <br />And they're hoping your gonna make it <br />So you sit in your hospital bed <br /> <br />But no one know how much pain your in <br />Because there's a new arrival <br />Who just became a new victim <br />Because I am the victim <br />I must be weak <br /> <br />Some days you feel like the prison guard <br />Because you have to watch your back <br />And the backs of the ones who want to hurt you <br />And the other prisoners <br /> <br />And you must follow the codes <br />Even if the prisoners don't and <br />They don't care if you make it home <br />And yet you care if they make it there cell safe <br /> <br />But the ones you protect <br />Don't they don't seem to really appreciate <br />That your trying to keep them safe <br />Because I am the prison guard <br />I must be good<br /><br />Beth Ann<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prisoner-victim-and-guard/
