4th Poem, Please Comment!

Please leave a comment if you have any words of wisdom, advice, or just heart felt thoughts you would like to pass on to my brother in prison. I have been posting some of his work, with his permission of course, hoping to somehow help him. I am mailing him any positive feedback I receive.

Looking at freedom through the gap in these bars
Life's passing me by while I add to my scars
Admiring the lives of those driving them cars
These are the views of a puppet who's learned nothing thus far

I use puppet in the sense that I lack self-control
I no longer do what I want, I do as I'm told
Dangling by these strings is starting to get old
Want my life back but can't cut form man's hold

Put away in a box, separated from the world to collect dust
Beat down to the point of emotional rust
Surrounded by sharks that feed on my trust
My heart now extinct, inside of me nothing but guts

With a slight shred of hope, I hit my knees & I pray
GOD PLEASE push the darkness away from my days
Release me from the devils grip Lord & show me the way
Then with a new toy the puppet master can play

Thank you for reading
