we pick our prisons
we pick our prisons……………………….. and dress them up
trying to pretend that self imposed incarceration isn’t that bad
because in our mind it is just as easy to build walls as it is to build bridges
the problem is a small wall doesn’t protect us from the inconvenience of others
so we build taller walls and that works for awhile but we are choked off from sunlight
and our mental state provides us with plenty of darkness but very little light
so we learn to live in the shadows of darkness or we bust a hole in the wall for a doorway
now i believe it is imperative to be nice to everyone
but be careful who you cozy up to, friends have needs and they will ask you to help fulfill them
that’s great if they will do the same…………………….few will………….choose them wisely
here’s your get out of prison card……………………….don’t go
you have a choice whom you let in and who you let pass by
prison is for people who think they know what is best for them
the rest of us have fences with gates
