The jail poems

by Jaired Smokeyday - Aries

2 MY DAD IN MOTIVATION

when you told me to hang in there
I thought what was left to hold on to? (August 2002)

WRITTEN AND DISCARDER

Once in awhile i will write to you
I jote down all my feelings and while I am at it
I think of you and tell you everything my heart feels

I am to you nobody important, nobody special
So when i finsih writting
I discard my letter   (2003 spring)

NO WORRIES

I am not worried about a thing in life
M heart is sunk but i still dont worry
I can do my own thang from now on

everything and everybody i have known
Ended like my favorite novel
Were the main characters die (fall 2003)

TRUE FRIEND

if u need a friend because your lonely
I will be there till my end like a true hommie
If you ever need to cry i got a shoulder 
Dont be scarred to give it a try Ima soilder (dec 03)

SHE PLAYS GOOD

I'm fucked up everyday, frustrated from head games
Washed up in this gutter, and I can't get away
My heart remains true, but its the lies I hate
All this shit i dont wanna go through, it only makes my heart break

I dont understand hope
It only makes me fear
That I dont understand love
Because all it does is disapear (late summer 2003)

DEATH IS A RELEASE

dying in jail
the fear of doing life
the fear of getting out
There is no release for me
I either die or go back to my community
I hate it out there
I like it here better 
This is family
I found peace here

Im close to my relases and I dont want it
My family is here now
I much pefer to die in here
Then out there
Id rather die 
then live at all (december 2003)

2 MY DAD IN MOTIVATION "SEQUEL"

when I first got thrown in
You told me
'hang in there'
So i did
Its 17 months later, 
here i am!
"Hanging out"
(January 2004)



Reason for writing:

    Short poems i made while i was in jail, that was me then, but its nearly 2005, and i know its so much diffrent now. Just something I wanted to share, because It sort of makes up during this site's lock out and the period of time i been gone.
