Spirits Broken Poem by Suzanna C Chevalier

You can’t take away inmates inner lives
their good feelings, thoughts and
soul makes them thrive.
Their spirit is lessoned and forced to the ground
they feel they are helpless I have found.
Their feelings of worthlessness is already enough—
Being in jail knowing going to prison makes them give up.
It’s hard enough being in a human body most of the time
we are souls first and souls are not to be confined…
