⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

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.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
