Last Night in Prison

Dear Mama,

I'm almost free.

Are you proud up there

As you look down on me?

Help me believe

There is still good in me.

Help me believe

In humanity.

One more day in this chair

One more night to despair.

Time to go

It's time to leave.

Goodbye, past.

Hello, me.

Unclean Hands

I'm glad I did it!

killed that bitch.

I stuck a knife

in her belly

because she stuck

a knife

in my heart.

Caught her in the act

in fact, I killed them both.

still can’t get my hands clean.

Sorry, not sorry

I've had twenty-five years to really think about what I've done. I had to make a split-second decision, but the events that led up to that moment happened over years and years. I would definitely do it again.

Mistakes Made

My dearest lover,

I must confess,

Everything that happened

Was an accident.

I'm not to blame

For the incident.

I plead innocence,

In the case of your husband.

You see,

I was actually aiming at you.

Bang bang.

With love.

Secret Message

You can't believe everything,

Out of people's mouths.

United stand, remember?

Raul has money. Call him.

Everything's taken care of.

Nothing to worry about, promise.

Executioner is still running around.

Xenophobes, they're the fucking catalysts.

Tread carefully, My Foreign Princess.

Day 478

I reckoned you will not reply- but my soul still needs to testify. I've had innumerable testimonies,I know. I rendered myself to defeat;put aside self-pity.Yet, I do pity myself for having lost you forever ago.

The Hard Truth

I sit in my cell, limiting interactions with the other inmates. I don’t mind them. Some of the most genuine bastards I’ve ever met. That’s likely the reason we’re in here. Refusing to be anything other then what we are.

Home From Prison, Imprisoned at Home.

I did it.

Cannot admit to it.

Irredeemable person, freed tomorrow.

They have found me innocent through no sufficient evidence.

Guilty as fuck.

And I know the guilt will follow me

All the days of my life.

See you tomorrow.

My Brother’s Keeper

Dereck,

I'm locked up, 25 to life. Sorry, but I just had to make that sick bastard hurt for what he did to Joey. I love you, bro, and please take care of Mom, she's lost two sons after all.
