Welcome To My World

AS NIGHT FALLS THESE FOUR WALLS ENCLOSE MY SOUL,LIGHTS FADE LOW,WOMAN SCREAM AND MOAN. LOVERS GET EXCITED,INMATES START TO RIOT,GUARDS ALL AROUND,BLANKETS BECOMING TOMBS. SOAP USED AS WEAPONS,SOCKS COVERING FINGERPRINTS,GAME PLANS GETTING DECIDED, CURSING ALL AROUND. DESTRUCTION UNDERWAY! D.E.A. PLANTING EVIDENCE,PARENTS UNDER RAP. FEDERAL ATTORNEYS UNDERPAID,BEST FRIENDS BUILT ON COMMISSARY LISTS. SAYING "I LOVE YOU"IN THE SHOWER,FIGHTING IN AN HOUR. GRANDMOTHERS DOING BIDS,CRACK SOLD BY KIDS. CONTROLLING US THROUGH A TOWER. WHO REALLY HAS THE POWER? NOTHING FROM YESTURDAY COUNTS TOWARDS TOMORROW. WHAT WE DO TODAY WILL EFFECT OUR FUTURE. TAKE MY ADVICE,ITS FREE. YOU DONT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

yes brandy, we all have choices and sometimes we make the wrong ones. that's to be expected. the true tragedy is when we don't learn from those mistakes and allow ourselves to grow and strive to head into a better direction instead. it hurt to read these words. i feel the intense pain of a major mistake. hold on and stay uplifted. God is near. thank you for your lovely comment. WELCOME. blessings............RAIN
