Temptation is everywhere.
30/11/2020
Healthy, wealthy and wise
Success the ultimate prize
And I give myself two years
To go from zero to hero
Repair the damage
And create grandkids
And oh the pain some still remains
6 years of life down the drain
And they all want to know
What it’s like on the inside
Scarily easy
So you no longer fear it
And were it not
For the team in my corner
The supportive family
The friends and co workers
And the angels of the system
It would be easy to slip up
Fall down and get locked up
But I’m cunning
I stalk the beast of temptation
And fire off rounds of will
The only good kind of kill
So that my mother
Never again
Has to see her son through prison glass

Recently I was lucky enough to spend a weekend with my uber successful older brother, and learned a lot about success and life skills. I love my job driving a forklift but I have aspirations to be something more. Study and hard work lie ahead.
At the same time it takes work to keep on the straight and narrow, temptation is everywhere and one slip up could lead me back to jail.
I do the right thing for my family and friends that have showed faith and support from day one.
Christo, I hope your ambitions include the publication of some of your inspiring, beautiful poems. You have something to say and a talent for saying it. Whatever your educational, occupational, and family goals, I wish you all the best! ❤

Thanks again Cheryl, I actually wrote a book about my experience on the inside that I’m still typing up. The plan is try to get that published first then maybe a book of poetry. Honestly there’s just not enough hours in the day for everything I want to do, but that’s a good problem to have. Take care:)
