An Inmates Letter of Exhaust From Addiction

An Inmates Letter of Exhaust From Addiction
~Ricky Nichole Flanigan

 An inmate’s life is built with love, but permanently judged by social population,
 The unjust society plus there own family pushed mental states towards self mutilation.

 Personal acceptance, starts with believing in one’s true meaning,
 Stage one, starts now, to kick off whatever you might be fiending.


 Originally established, aggravation may arise, but all in-all the motivation's yours to follow,
 Based on proven read reactions, and weakened minds, the truth is hard to fully swallow.

 Attempts transforming to failure; even successful stories skip, there’s always going to be those random pitfalls,
 Traditional institutionalized based on mentality, usually conclude into hidden family withdrawals.


 I’ve lived a life with many defaults, but today I must accept of what I have done,
 No stress, no turning to a mess, and no need to deny, or ignore as I would run.


 Additionally to the fact that I know for myself, I can rehearse that I live my life in change,
 No longer do I fight, but I do for my beliefs, only for a hint of appreciation in exchange.


 Understand that we better our own today, compared to what we resembled in the past.
 At least we can admit, that life is too short to rush any important event too fast.


 I know that I am better than what I was yesterday, and I am focusing on who I am today,
 Because I am free from the chaos that once had control, but now I know I have a say.


 I have experienced much of who really hasn’t, and no, no ego there intended,
 But all I know is that my past, my sins and my stress has all been suspended.


 I finally changed my head, when you all have helped me, but I honestly had to see it myself,
 I needed to open my eyes, that reality's not a surprise, but concludes to an URN sitting on a shelf.


 Today I appreciate to all my support, that who have helped me along the way,
 Without the selected individuals in my life, I don’t think I would've made it to this day.
