My brother who is serving time in prison recently wrote this poem. My husband and I thought it was powerful and wanted to share it with you.
There's thousands around me, yet I'm all alone
I live in a place that sends chills through my bones
Something in here just doesn't feel right
There's devils and demons when I turn out the light
The nights are long and the days are slow
Will I last 9 years in here, I don't believe so
There's thousands around me yet I'm all alone
This place is cold, made of concrete and steel
Death and decay is how this prison feels
I don't really know my girls and it hurts real bad
Some guy I don't know, is who they call dad
My life has been empty, it started ages ago
The sadness I feel, I try not to show
I'm tired of this journey, I want to move on
When I get where I'm going, my pains will be gone
Jesus promises me life, thats what He will give
So I'll follow His path, cause I want to live
When I leave the world saved and heavens my home
There will be thousands around me, I'll be no longer Alone.
