I'm sitting Behind Bars wanting to be free <br />But Society just won't let go of me. <br /> <br />I'm sorry for the Crime that I have done <br />And I just want to get Home to my Son <br />Cause being Behind Bars ain't no Fun. <br /> <br />Being Behind Bars is worse then I thought <br />And All 10 Years I Fought and Fought. <br /> <br />Being Behind Bars caused me to Fight for my Life <br />And my Crime came with Terrible Price. <br /> <br />You don't get Respect unless you Command it <br />And living In Prison, you better Demand it. <br /> <br />Prison is a Place that I don't even wish my Enemies could be <br />It's not a Place that I desire to Be. <br /> <br />It's crazy lying in this Cell 24 Hours a Day <br />and not having a Dam Word to Say. <br /> <br />Prison is Hell no matter what people say <br />It's a Place where you better know how to Pray! <br /> <br />It's a Place where who you are is tested everyday <br />And you better be able to back up every word you Say. <br /> <br />It's a Place where Everyday your Fighting People off of you <br />Hope ing that you'll make it through. <br /> <br />Being Behind Bars puts you in Survive Mode <br />And always keeps you on your Toes. <br /> <br />So take my Advice, Being Behind Bars is not the Place to be. <br />Cause things in here is Rough and we fight for ours Viciously! ! !<br /><br />Tracie Brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/behind-bars-4/
