Confinement
At thirteen there I went
Society had put me away
A year in a reform school I spent
My debt I had to pay
I went from jail to jail
As the years rolled by
Sitting in a lonely cell
Asking myself why
A wild one to tame
It must be in the mind
So to a place for the insane
To spend a little more time
Now in a hospital bed I lay
My body racked with pain
This is the last confinement I pray
The rest, the grave will claim.
