Open eyes

Open Eyes Is My Soul Laid Bare. I Cannot Remember A Time That Things Didn'T Deeply Affect Me. Although I Could Never Put It Into Words. So I Punched And Kicked Walls. I'Ve Sworn Yelled Bit At The Air; And At My Lowest Point Tried To End It All. Today I Look At The Toll On My Body My Scars (Inner And Outer) And Marvel At How I Ever Ended Up In Such Dark Places... And More Importantly How I Ever Came Back From Them. I Have Been Incarcerated In Prison For The Majority Of My Life Under The Worst Sentence Possible: Death! Men With This Sentence Are Relegated To A Building That Is Segregated And Isolated From All Other Prisoners. Thus The People You Meet Are Also Faced With The Same Uncertainty. Over The Years I'Ve Lost So Many Friends And Am So Troubled By It. I Don'T Know If I Can Ever Emotionally Bond In This Place Again. I'Ve Often Asked Guys Who'Ve Been Here Longer Than Me How They Do It. I'Ve Gotten Numerous Answers. Some Discovered God. Some Discovered Themselves Through Meditation Art Crafts And Creative Writing. I'Ve Tried Various Forms Of Religion Before Turning To Christianity; Giving My Life To Christ And Giving It Meaning. I Also Discovered Poetry And Creative Writing (The Language That Gives Sound To Feeling). The Fists Of My Emotions Strike The Walls Inside Of Me (Trapped And Wanting Out) Finally Finding A Means Of Expression. Open Eyes Is Me Raw And Uncut; Free And Unchained.
