Screwed Up: Penitentiary Poetry excerpt...

in poerty •  3 years ago 
Untitled, by Mountain River Valley

...remorse births awareness
of the depths of stress
and strong suggestions
to quit bothering others
and help the step
of those in need –
swift-kicked the asshole,
head high, eyes wide open
starts to truly see
the making of a better me.

From the self-published book, Screwed Up: Penitentiary Poetry.
The author of this poem is currently incarcerated, serving a life sentence.
