I’m ready for anything.
27/09/2020
Superb the glory
Of a milestone reached
And a flawless victory
Over the devil of life
6 months no issues
And a life well lived
In the eye of the storm
So that all the chaos
Never bites
–
If modern life is war
Consider me a soldier
Ready to live
Ready to die
Ready for anything
And always searching
For the light fantastic
To carry me away
To greener pastures
And my very own
Slice of heaven
–
Through it all
The pain, the remorse, the regret
Hope kept me afloat
So I forged on
To reach the very special place
Opening up tom me
As freedom rains down
On my desert soul
–
This is the good bit
This is the party we came for
This is our one shot at life
This is our world to live in
The beginning and ending of everything
–
Every time I reach a milestone, such as 6 months of parole finished I give myself a pat on the back. It’s harder than you would think avoiding the kind of behavior that winds you back in jail.
Life keeps getting better in increments and the present state of affairs is the bliss I was dreaming of for the entire time I was locked up.
A thousand different could happen in the future so I keep up the pace and make sure I’m ready for anything.
Very well written
