Freedom in Prison

• Artist: FuriazFTW
• Description: The love, the smiles, the friendship, the confusion, the self-expression, the loss, the hate, the struggle for survival, and the regrets of a lifetime will someday lead to happiness.
  
  As an afternote, in case you don't understand the ending... what happens when the sun's rays are reflected in the spring rain?

Another story left untold;
the Revolution ends with me.
These prison bars never felt so cold,
sentenced because my thoughts flew free.

We are all torches in the dark,
revealing a realm of tragedy...
Pierced by these arrows, razor sharp,
I hope that you will hear my plea...

I can't believe that I once thought
that everyone was made for me.
That our genetics made us gods,
that everything bowed at our feet.

But after our lives burned away,
I saw the truth beneath the ash.
Everything was as bright as day,
and I'll infect the truth 'til the day I pass.

And now I'm crying in my cell,
the rusted metal keeping watch
A boy that's just surviving hell,
that now is feeling without touch.

I'm still just sitting here, alone,
and the world's passing me by;
These prison bars are growing old,
the bolts that hold them, copper-dyed.

I grab the door, right by the seams,
and wrench with all my strength it seems;
I scream, my clothes coated in blood,
Collapse into the growing mud.

... A hundred hands to lift me high...
... An IV plugged into my brain...
... And now I'm soaring towards the sky...
... The sun refracted in the rain.

The "An IV plugged into my brain" part. Was that supposed to mean like his mind was refreshed by being free? When I hear that part and the part about soaring to the sky I think that he died and is happy to be free even if it's through death. Things like IV's always make me thing of hospitals and sickness and death anyways.

Very nice. You did a good job starting with the dark, desolate cell and building up dramatically to the escape. I love it. X3

Really well done. Great use of rhyme and not a case of rhyme using you a bit. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
