ONE DAY BY: LAURA SMITH
Here I am again,
Back at the Tennessee woman’s pen.
God how did I get back here again?
Especially when I swore to never return.
Like Usher said” let it burn”.
Locked doors and officers corrupt,
Theres really no way to win,
Inmates alike want to do me in.
One day all is well,
The net day….
Here I am in hell!!
After my last trip
I swore I’d never return
On this f’d up trip.
One day I am playing with my children,
Then next I’m off to prison,
And now here they are in the system
One day friends and family smile in my face,
The next day to call my parole officer they (Could not read the author of wrote at end of this sentence)
Dear Lord am I ever gonna win?
It seems everyone has turned on me in the end,
Even my family and so-called friends.
They show me no mercy.
Why for my love,
Do they want to hurt me?
The struggle is real.
Pain and suffering is all I feel.
Happy Memories quickly, fade.
Here comes the CERT team to my cell
For yet another raid.
I give them my best,
But in return, I got a drug test
On my expense My cellie was better than I
But when I got locked and you packed my shit
You continued to rob me
Like “damn that’s it?”
“Don’t worry I got you,” you wrote me and said,
You got me alright sold my ring to the feds
You betrayed me for a 30 piece of dope,
I know I’m not Jesus but I still had hope.
They pushed me down but I jumped back up.
Just to find out it was another set up.
It’s bad enough all the drug testing
But damn yall got my granny arrested.
In 85 years to her that’s never happened.
Please God my white flag is up,
From this nightmare can I please wake up.
Surely the hole is not my fate,
Oh, thank you Jesus here comes my expiration date.
One day please God let this all be over
I’m just trying to survive
But they keep bending me over.
The next day onto another season,
God now I’m ready to serve you,
Let that be your reason.
I know what they meant for my harm.
You mean for my good
You tell me this
In chapter 50 verse 20
In the book of genesis
Dear Lord, I know it isn’t you that’s my foe
Its Satan the world’s largest asshole.
