Darkness loneliness pain sorrow, waking up everyday already wishing it was tomorrow, people ask me what's its like when your doing time, I'm just asking myself what do I do with all demons in my mind, Crazy thoughts mixed up feelings, waking up everyday asking God for a healing, now as your traped between these four walls, you acting tough putting on a front but deep down inside you just wanna fall, laying in bed at night wondering why, but you don't have time for these crazy thoughts especially the ones that make you cry, your stuck in a world where only the strong prevail and the weak just don't make it, don't ever misjudged this truth or mistake it, lost loved ones regrets in your heart, wishing you could change so much cause you done tore your whole family apart, now just remember it's out of sight and out of mind, but that's just a concept when your doing time

my son is doing time. altho he refuses to make contact, you have described how i think he must be feeling right now. made me cry. and yet gives me hope that he will be able to talk or write about his time, as you have. thank you.

Writing was a way for me to get out all the things I was going through when I was in prison it helped the pain and loneliness you feel in there
