Confused

Confused in my mind

The real me I know

I will find

Family I miss and

That’s no lie

Is this a dream?

No, so I’ll cry

Listen as the doors lock

Sometimes I feel my heart

Stop

Keep ticking over

So I can live

Stress everyday is what

I relive

My family keep me

Alive and sane

But something is not

Right with my brain

I think I want to go back

To the wonderful life I had.

Help – Danny

Wanting help, needing attention

But they gave me a month’s detention

I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling

No chance for me of any healing

Days go slow, nights never ending

These thoughts go in letters I am sensing

Night staff are on the laugh and joke

Lecky goes off, I need a smoke

Retired from Crime – L.D

As I sit here alone in my cell

Stressing out on my bell

It seems like sheer hell

Prison life is not for me

I belong outside where I am free

Done my share of crime

It’s why I’m doing the time

The screws treat you like dirt

No-one knows how much it hurts

Crime is like a drug

Can’t stop the habit with my shrug

I’ve always done my best

But I’m no different than the rest

I can’t wait for the day I’m free

For everyone shall see

That I’m a good, caring, loving lad

‘Cause I take after my dad

Not always being sad or bad

I won’t be coming back to jail

For my loved ones I shall not fail

I want to be free all the time

Not in prison for more crime

One Day – N.N

One day I chill on my own

Thinking of my sweet lady back home

I wait for Thursday so I can phone

Just to hear her speak, and her tome

Like a song all at once

I know in time it will come

To stop robbing and put away my gun

I promised you I would marry you

The promise I made I will keep true

Always and forever my love is for you

All my love and a kiss

Doing Time

I watch the sunset fade away

All through the night I lie and pray

I wish that you were here with me

To hold my hand and comfort me

Women – A.D

Since we all came from a woman

Got our name from a woman

And our fame from a woman

I wonder why we take from a woman

And we rape a woman

And we break a woman

Do we hate that woman?

I think it is time that we killed for a woman

Time we healed for that woman

And were real to that woman

And if we don’t

We will have a race of babies

That hurt the ladies

That make the babies

And since a man can’t make one

He has no right to tell a woman

When and where to create one

So will the real men get up

I know you’re fed up, then, ladies

Keep your head up

Ode to You

I am a boy from Liverpool

Who never, ever went to school

I hung around with gangs of thugs

Who sold all different kinds of drugs

Then we went from drugs to cars

Flexing through town, hitting the bars

Next I met you and tried to change

But giving up felt very strange

Even though I tried to be good

In my heart I knew I never would

So now I’m writing from my cell

I’m missing you like Fxxxxxx hell!
