The room mirrors the owner cold as ice, Nothing to salvage cause no item would suffice. He sits against the wall facing the frozen bars, His heart behind them held back like what a red light does to cars. Eyes bluer than usual from the stare even while his hand shakes, Above the hammer which he planned to use after he debated the stakes. His blood slows as his empty chest relaxes leaving him still, Unable to shake the thoughts as it weighs heavily on his will.
I have never understood using prison as a punishment. It makes no sense. You are making a person into a worse member of society, not for the better. I looked up the Illinois prison list and the thing that I noticed is that most prisoners have tattoos, and I realized why I am scared of people with them, though I do think they are really neat, I would never get one. What would I put on my arm, Homer or Cartman?
It was actually a man staring at his heart which was locked behind bars of ice(cold hearted) nothing to do with prison. The Guy was trying to break free from the depression brought on by the cold tower his heart free
