!THAT PLACE!

The OTHER truth

0 notes

Prison is death with the exception of company and while many men have been driven to their knees because there was no place else to go, I have been driven to stand-up so that no man, convict or “bossman” can ride on my back.
Me.

I am 48 years of hope hoping for hope that things will eventually get better 

I am almost a half-century’s worth of being sick and tired of being sick and tired and quite frankly I am sick and tired of it 

I am desperate for purpose 

  

I think fairness is a plate of food and a warm bed for all

I think people should be recognized and loved not discarded

I think an awful lot about living but I’m almost anxious to die

 

I want to make more of an impact not minimum wage

I want to make friends

I want to make a difference

 

I do what I can to improve my life and try to improve on others

I do not give up or quit

I do think I can make it though if only I’d get noticed

 

I hate the fact that I don’t count

I hate mirrors that look at me (most days)

I hate that I hate

 

I wish for drastic change (at least for 99% of us)

I wish I wasn’t me (most times)

I wish I would’ve wished for wishes (I just used up all 3)

 

I know it will get better though because it cant get any worse

(I know I’m wrong on that one)

I know you probably agree

 

I am grateful though

I am grateful for you

I am grateful for the 99%

 

I thank you all

I thank you for your service and your message of hope

I thank you for sharing the pathway to purpose

 

I am now on that path

I am being counted

I am…the 99%
