In These Cells

These women who,
Sit in these cells,
Once were lost,
But now they are found.

The stories they tell,
Are no different then mine.
If you listen carefully,
You'll see a sign.

The choices we made,
Were usually wrong,
But what we've learned,
Has made us strong.

Life's too short,
In these here cell's.
To be locked up.
Makes us feel like Hell.
