A Somebody Something

I was once trapped in the many past wrongs now days I'm doing what it takes for a better life in the very few rights.
 Im writing through these violent dark hard days while thinking life thoughts in the easy peaceful bright nights.
 I search for hope of something living in this despair of nothingness looking for a past future unknown in the mind's sight.
 I see what I see in my purpose of my own destiny. 
I'm walking incarcerated while my mind is running free. 
So I am told I will be a nobody like many who never amount to nothing 
I am told I got no where to hide after all that wasted running 
But as inmate I know when I get out I will be A SOMEBODY SOMETHING.
