Peace Behind Bars By: Megan Smith

*Peace Behind Bars By: Megan Smith*

Peace Behind Bars is not hard to find when your demons keep you up at night.

When voices whisper to you shackles, handcuffs way to tight.

You miss your family… no mail call and honestly your just trying to stay out of a fight.

So what if you no longer have to pay bills,

or you get a place to sleep and 3 meals.

Wondering if time does really heal.

1,000 of homeboys wearing the same color, dropped you like your significant other, becoming your ex lover.

Now you fight these evils all alone.

Lucky if anyone will pick  up the phone.

So you look to pass your time,

Asking a stranger to drop a line.

One willing to grab a pen,

A pal, transgender, women or men.

Thanks to this company that is what you will find,

A service to help you not lose your mind.

Staying strong upstairs inside,

So you can walk out with your pride.

Thank you for helping me find peace,

If that’s all I can say at the very least.

And to all the ones struggling trust it,

Because you too can get through this shit.
