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:) |
It's a very true poem. He's very good with words. Hopefully he will find the power of God and use it to better his situation when he's free from jail. Sometimes our bad choices lead us to the correct door. We just have to open it. Good luck. |
That's a terrific piece of poetry....such heart. I pray for his strength and growth. |
Dear MyBrother, Yes indeed he is good with turning his world into words. One thing stood out at me, this could of been written by anyone trapped in addiction, after all, addiction does take it's victims prisioner, usually demanding a life sentence, the only way out for the addicted loved ones held incarcerated in their own hell, is to surrender and demand sobriety in their lives. To be forever free of drugs and/or alcohol. Thank your bro for the poem, I hope writing his feelings down is helping him and certainly I hope it helps others, it opened my eyes and made think of what kind of life I want to live! TF |

What a heartfelt sobering poem. Putting into words what it is like for the addict behind bars. I hope he finds God and God releases the addiction in him as well as giving him a new lease on life because as in his words, out of the darkness can come a new beautiful light. God Bless him. |
Dear mybrother, welcome. The poem was powerful. Love and hugs to you and your brother. :ring |
I too like the poem and and glad your brother is turning to God. With God and faith in your heart, there are no prisons even when surrounded by bars. Without God, life is a prison even though the bars are unseen. Hugs |
I think your brother is reaching the point when he will start to recover. |
Very beautiful and SO true about being a puppet and controlled by the disease. |
