Time is passing so slowly.....
Facing the future armed with uncertainty,
I pray the absence of normality makes everyday the same.
No longer to deny my mistakes,
I know where to place the blame.
So I try to make the best of this situation,
stripped of all my dignity,
still I maintain my frustration deep within my mind.
Behind these bars I am able to keep my sanity.
For however long this must be,
my time will be spent focusing on tomorrow...
Forgetting about yesterday....
while remembering to smile today.
Please be gentle..... This was written back in 1992...while in jail facing a 50 year sentence. .. One of the first written.

Welcome
We all do stupid stuff. I was lucky and never got caught. At some time in our lives we realize who is at fault. The tough part is forgiving ourselves. Nice write. Sending positive thoughts.
