An old class room, <br />A prison cell, <br />Place of learning, <br />Devil's hell, <br /> <br />In quest of knowledge, <br />I came here, <br />They locked me in, <br />This place of fear, <br /> <br />Mother Nature's only sun, <br />Gives a gift to me, <br />A shadow on a dingy wall, <br />My only company, <br /> <br />I read the writing on the wall, <br />Whatever it may say, <br />I could not really care in here, <br />My life is locked away, <br /> <br />On either side of these black bars, <br />My past and future lie, <br />On which side is my future? <br />On which side will I die? <br /> <br />If I should lose my life or mind, <br />In this cell alone, <br />Dare not shed a tear for me, <br />On my grave of stone<br /><br />Dean Meredith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/by-myself-8/
