Pretty prison

Confined fear handcuffed to metal bars  
 
crimes of innocence laid out on a cot
 
 cemented walls are new confessionals  
 
Prayers slip between pleas  
 
echoing through minds but only reaching the dead.  
 
Painting pictures passing sentences  
 
One photo doesn’t make it a pretty prison?

One lie did make it my own hell
