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…
