Walking Down My Sentence
By “C”
Incarcerated
By way of felony conviction
Pain in my heart
Keeps blurring my vision
Some of these days are so long when you are stuck in the system
Evolve through my struggle
Turn it into wisdom
Just listen
Still feel hope when I’m staring through these fences
Even on the days it all seems senseless
Running from my demons
Only moving inches
A Warrior
Still putting in work deep in the trenches
Might as well face it
Bidding in prison
Time to get back to the basics
No more staring in the rearview when they put me in them bracelets
Fantasy of freedom
Till the day that I’m cageless….
