LOST CHILD IN PRISON

we as a people look for hope at the darkes of moments
i found mine stuck in prison at first i didn't feel no-way
about it leading up to it every body that i once knew
told me you goin to fuck your life up big time i didnt
wanna hear it a day before my arrest i was kicking it
with one of my female friends and she tells me something
bad real bad is going to happen to you and yet again i aint
listening :walking through the prison gates was a surreal moment
in my life cause i always told myself I will never be another
black Statistic that falls into the traps of life  
but i was in the middle it and I never saw it just
in the one minute of walking chained up from the Van to the
prison gates was one the the biggest eye openers i needed in my
life to start doing the right things in life and started self-
education to improve my chances in life but i will always keep my prison papers an letters jus to let myself and my future children know that it can happen to anyone if you try and fit
in with a group that you have no need chilling with but it feels good cause you feel accepted but what feels good aint always right me and my mother didnt really talk before,during and after my sentence and one thing that i will always remember my mother saying and will forever be with me is "you can tell the charactor of a person by the friends he keeps"
and that right there is some true shit and will never leave me.
