Choice

Eyes on the prize for we paid the price 
Free from the ghost’s of a life of crime 
Confined to four wall’s for half my life
Confronting the past letting go 
Finding the truth to set me free
Getting a second chance to make things right
To little to late to look back 
Was done is done can’t be undone 
Walking in a straight and narrow road 
Were justice wont catch up to fine me 
And take more year’s then month’s
Steel bars cold as ice 
Time spend confronting my past mistake’s
Forgiveness is a hard pill to swallow  
But I humble my self with my head held down
For those I have hurt and committed a crime 
As I sit all alone in a square 
A curt in of bars  is what I stare 
I have the rest of my life to bare 
The burden of my poor choice’s
