Behind Bars

　
Locked away in solitary confinement
Mental bars of personal consignment
Emotional pain brought to refinement
Product of a personality mis-alignment
　
Shunned by prejudicial societal bent
Defined as mental-illness’ invent
Wormed into darkness to prevent
Wrath of humanity’s discontent
　
Solace is given to comfort’s gain
Darkness the illuminating flame
Hidden by a life-time refrain
Behind bars a choice to remain
