One Day (Mono-Rhyme)

One day in a cell I threw a fit Went to the wall and started to hit Wasn't long until my knuckles split I figured that maybe I should quit That was as stupid as stupid can get I was just so mad that I could spit I reckoned maybe I should sit And think it over for a little bit Looking back now I must admit My anger that day was not legit The crimes I myself did commit Allowed them to lock me in that pit With nothing left to omit I got on my knees to transmit I ask the Lord to please permit Me to finally recommit To my Lord I did submit The man I am is the result of it

I see from anger to repentance. There are consequences for our actions. Great message conveyed nicely. Continue to share. I am reading.
