I’m under house arrest 
No judge sentenced me
No lawyer represented me 
No appeal process exists
I committed no crime
Yet-I am confined 
The accepted, social description  
Is “Homebound”  
You see- my mind
 Isn’t serving this sentence 
My body is
I will not bore you with the details
It would not help me
I have the legal right to do what I want 
But my body is the Supreme Court
That’s the final say
So I wake everyday
 (when Im able to sleep)
I go through my survival routine 
Look for the elements that can still 
exude quality 
I am not asking for sympathy or pity 
I still have my mind, my brain 
and mouth
I am asking tor understanding 
Not merely for me but others as well 
Some of which display their gift 
 and talent through this channel 
I have a future although limited
But sometimes it is good
To talk about it🦋
