The Cell
I’m in a prison cell, writing my thoughts
Before I go before the judge tomorrow
What will I say, will I testify, do I testify
Against the women that gave me life
The woman that said she loved me
The woman that betrayed me
The woman that used me
The woman that in her words
Convinced me my father had to die
To save her and my sister
The woman that told me if I didn’t
She would kill herself
NO I can’t testify, YES you can
You don’t deserve to be in here
She deserves to be in here
Todays the day, I can do this
All Rise
I approach the bench
There she is crying again
Like before, like that night
Pleading with her eyes to me
I cant do this
YES YOU CAN!!!
SO
I
DID
