When Will Solitary Confinement End?

I sit in Solitary Confinement,

Monitored and evaluated,

Psychologically tested,

Tortured in more ways than I care

to remember or burden you with,

With hopes I´d crack and beg,

Beg to be let out of this torturous place

And crack, losing the bit of sanity I have left

Like so many others before me and so many others

Yet to fall, fall prey to the prison´s administrators,

To their countless of tactical torturous games they play.

I am but one of a few hundred who still stand strong,

Fighting to survive, accumulating deep embedded scars

With each passing day, learning to be resilient to all

That´s thrown and piled up against me

In such a difficult, miserable place.

Lonely and deprived of so much I sit in Solitary Confinement.

Beyond desperate for a helping hand, for something,

Someone, for a movement, for human rights lawyers

And all the advocates out there to put an end

To this heinous practice of Solitary Confinement

And take me away from this place with my dignity intact.

I just hope it´s soon before many more fall prey

And lose themselves in this dungeon of hell and misery

That´s been in place for far too long.

What will it take before you realize that time is essential

To one´s sanity within these circumstances,

To one´s self-respect and humanity.

What will it take to end Solitary Confinement?
