The Prisoner:

I am The Prisoner,
I live inside my head.

I am a secret agent,
Who wears many identities,
Who decieves everyone,
Who has sworn to do anything -
My overlords tell me to do,
Who is not 007 - but another number -
I took it willfully.

It is I that placed myself in this prison,
Of my own volition.

Yet.....I now cry for my identity,
I cry for my name,
I cry for my freedom.

Yet.....I do not know my name,
I can not tell anyone,
My home is a shame,
I am alone.

I am a cardboard cutout,
A cliche without detail,
A hero to the ignorant,
I am - The Prisoner.

Maurice
