Into the Wilderness
Abandon all hope when serving a life sentence in prison.
Hope under such conditions can be a very dangerous thing.
Acceptance is what should be embraced in such a situation.
Acceptance can make the worst situation all the more baring.
I accept that my life is all down hill from here
if I allow the ties that I have to keep me here,
so once my ties have been severed, I'll disappear
into the wilderness where I'll spend my remaining years.
