Tommy's Poem "Prison Life"

Prison Life

It's waiting on a letter, When youre doing time.

And your family wont write, or send you a dime.

It's waiting on visits, that never take place.

From family and loved ones, that forget your face.

Making you promises, but you know they are lying.

It's making plans with someone you though you knew.

but their plans suddenly change, and they dont include you.

It's hearing them say how much they care.

But in your time of need, they were never there.

It's hearing them promise, and it goes straight to the head.

But when push comes to shove, they leave you for dead.

It's not feelings of love, honor, or pride, it's feelings of pain, hate, and hurting inside.

It's expressing yourself to your family and friends, but they cant feel your pain cause its "you in the pen."

It's calling and hearing, there's a block on the phone, but still you maintain because life goes on. It's really messed up when you gotta do some time.

but thats prison life.

Out of sight, Out of mind.
