Poem of the Day…
ADVICE TO MYSELF
by Teen BoySitting in my cell
Thinking hard about the stuff I’ve done
Thinking harder on the “why”
Wasting time thinking
About what I’m gonna do on the outs
So numb to the feeling
Don’t know what freedom’s about
I hurt quite a few people
With more than just words
I have lots of talent
Skills for the masses
Stop the construction on the streets
And apply it to some classesSource: Please Brave Me, Dry These Tears – Writing by Teenagers at Denney Juvenile Justice Center (Published by The Blanche Miller Art Exhibit Program)
