Fallen Brother
My stomach knots and my head is spinning, my blood is pumping and my heart
is racing. I sit and wait but my mind is pacing back and forth. My freedom rests in
the hands of a total stranger and a lawyer I have never seen. I am asked to trust
someone with my life that has never proven anything to me and try to convince
me he is competent enough to play god with my life. I had dreams to have a wife
and kids but as I sit and wait I see my life slip further and further away. The
harder I pray the more what I thought was so clear has now become so dark and
grey. The one I love is so far away but I still don't know how to say all I wish to
say. All I can think is please stay please stay, and then I look around and realize I
was thinking out loud. Some people looked at me as if I was crazy and some
looked as if they had sympathy for the pain my heart was going through. I glance
around and start to feel all the pain in everyone elses eyes as they die a little just
like me. The people that judge our fate must not feel or they would not strip our
soul away and play the role of my god.
"in loving memory of my brother
you will never be forgotten"
