Spirits Broken Poem by SQC 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 and is already tough enough—
Being in jail knowing you are
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…
