I’m the Example

David Hernandez

My right side strikes the left wall,
while the left side strikes the right wall.
My arms, tied to my chest,
struggle to budge from their restraints.
I’m locked in a confined cell,
free to roam, never to leave.

I try to be a good role model
and here I am in a mental institute,
praying for the day I can hold my daughter
and never let her go,
keep her as tight as this strait jacket.
