A CONVICT'S CRY OF DESPAIR
Pupils contracted,
Fear in eyes,
Satan standing in front of me,
Ignoring my cries...
Officers interrogating me
For days and days,
All despising me
For my criminal ways…
Cramped in a cell,
Waiting for freedom
Without knowing
If it will ever come…
People guarding me
With many a gun,
Leaving no chance
For me to have fun…
Food is cold
With no taste at all,
Eating with strangers
In a murky hall…
Spending days and nights
To figure out
Whether to cry for mercy,
Or listen to officers’ shout…
Leaving me vulnerable
In the freezing cold,
I cry silently,
Hoping, my petition will withhold…
Then the day comes,
When judgement is announced,
I find myself quite calm
But, with all my hopes denounced…
Announced guilty,
Execution declared,
I’m plunged into darkness
Suddenly feeling scared…
What is this life
Of violence, hatred and pain…
For all I got
Was looks of loath and disdain…
How I wish fervently
That my life, I counld rewind…
Then I could leave
All my sins behind…
But now, here I am,
Waiting in my cell, for the final call
Now knowing what it is like
When the end befalls…

if you can't handle me at my worst,<br /> then you certainly don't deserve at my best!<br /> <br /> it is the events that shape our lives, <br /> but it is the choices we make that define us...<br /> <br /> life is not about finding yourself,<br /> life is about creating yourself
