The Fear of coming to jail
And the unfairness of it all
She sits in the jail cell all alone
Waiting for her bones to roam
Guards tease her
And encourage her to not exist and die
They beat her up with their batons
And taser her feelings
But a prisoner walks up to her
And hugs her
And says, "You're beautiful"
One person out of billions makes her feel alive
