See Me Now

See Me Now

                                    I once had a wife and a home,
                                    Now I am in a cell all alone.
                                    Thinking of ways I shouldn't take blame,
                                    And defying reality from all shame.

                                    I once held a reliable position,
                                    Had keys, even made a transition.
                                    But if you see me now I am nothing,
                                    All because I played with life's blessing.

                                    I once owned a fancy car of pleasure,
                                    Now all I own is a cell that measures.
                                    Eight by eight by a high sixteen,
                                    Reminding myself that my life was a dream.

                                    But still their is something I do own,
                                    And that's pride for its shown.
                                    That patience loves to wait,
                                    For time is its only date.
