Prisoner

I’m stuck in a prison like place  It's supposed to be like a base  The thing is no one wants to be here  The others seem to make that very clear I’ve only been here for a week  And I feel powerless to speak  I want to leave I want to go home I'd rather be reading alone  The thing is I didn't do anything to be here  It could take a while to leave possibly even a year  I'm not 100% sure why this is necessary for me  But all I can really say is I am no longer free  They all say it’s a safe place for everyone here  being vulnerable is something I’ll always fear  My mind feels like it's drifting off far in space  I wouldn't have even noticed if I lost the race
