The Prisoner

*************************
  

i have no idea why i'm here  
no charges were ever read  
and, ...no..., i don't remember a trial  
 
they just put me in this cell  
with no number  
turned out all the lights  
and threw away the key  
 
no one knows i'm here  
 
do they feed you?  
 
no, i eat the bugs that crawl across  
my face  
 
how do you get water?  
 
there's a leaky pipe  
i collect water in a rag and suck on that  
if they fix it, i'm dead  
 
is there any light?  
 
no, i navigate by touch and sound  
 
what about sanitation?  
 
there's a hole in the floor  
 
do you ever get to talk to anyone?
 
 
no, i'm all alone  
 
by the way  
who are you?  
how did you find me?  
 
i'm the voice inside your head
