⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Condemned man,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I thought myself, destined⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
for the shackles of⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
loneliness,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
thought me a prisoner⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
of my inability to feel⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
content. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if nothing⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ever feels⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
like enough, I wondered,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
what if these eyes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
roam for new faces,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
what if my legs know⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
nothing⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
but the chase? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Saw myself behind⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the bars⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I built, staring out⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and clinking my cup⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
on the metal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Release came, parole⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
as a kindness,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and I found you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reformed man,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think myself, I’m never⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
going back in.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
