I Want To...

I want to achieve at something and not be degraded.
I want to change my life because I'm sick of jail.
I want to love so many people, I mean true godly love.
I want to stay alive long enough to see my kids grow.
I want to remain sober so I won't put other lives at risk.
I want to actually be free of the devil and all his way's.
I want to awake out of darkness for the sparkling of thy sun.
I want to have a future with you Lovie, I love you forever.
I want to improve in my education, I know its the key.
I want to be a father to my kids, I let them down enough.
I want to be as wise as the men who walked with our Lord.
I want to be forgiven of my sins and live righteously.
I want to be able to tell my great-grandparents I miss'em so.
I want to erase all the worries I brought upon my mother, I love you so.
I want to be that person that's trusted and respected.
I want to never have to cry again because of pain and guilt.
I want to be able to dream again, come back dreams, please!
I want to... I want to cry right now cause of how I feel inside.
Everyday that passed has been a nightmare for the last 16 years.
I want to go back to being that sweet adorable little kid with the 
brightest smile and maturity of a man, grown man.
I want to, I know I do, I must and I will.

                                                                         Sincerely,
Brandon Johnson
