Prisoner 09/19/2018
The thoughts keep coming
If a certain song comes on I can still hear them singing or humming
If I close my eyes, I can sometimes see his face
They killed him and left a trace
Life became an impossible race
"Who gets caught first?" Became a question of our daily routine
I witnessed things that should have never been seen
I constantly think of shooting up or smoking dope
I have lost the majority of my hope
I hear their voices and it echoes throughout my head
Especially the man that is now dead
In life, I'm now falling behind
It's too late
Now, I'm a prisoner to my mind
This poem is about:
Me
My community
