Iron Gates
The darkness prevailing
Outside all the more appealing
What to do?
Where to go?
How to leave?
Bars screech as the outer realm
Beckons
All to come and enjoy a break
He leaves the cell
Reminiscent of a living hell
For a brief reprieve
Outside the others groups judge
They deal, real and unreal
Arguments ensue
Watching, whishing
Reminiscing
Time gone, time lost, time held
In the memory
Choices made, choices cemented
Choices regretted
Second chances never existing
Fairy tail endings slipping by
The slums
To the iron gates
Freedom gained, freedom lost
Freedom never there, never known
