Just My Thoughts of You

The days just seem so long since they took you away
Imagining the walls and the confinement 
Knowing that you say reality is far worse than my imagination.
Wondering how to help you survive and knowing that there is nothing that I can do.

It is up to you and others 
Your strength, your character which will need to put you on the path of your future and 
dreams.  
Others that will put obstacles in your way which include the guards, the courts, your past.  

 If not for you, then make a future for your little girl, she deserves (as do you) to know that 
her father made mistakes but was able to overcome them.  

You say your attitude is what is making the guards nervous; you will not take anything or 
show them emotion.  

Understandable knowing who is watching you.
But you need to respect yourself; as well as be respectful to them.  They hold the keys. 

It is a fine line to walk.
