Poetry: “We Have a Future!”
We Have Future!
Sittin’ here thinking to myself writin’ poem after poem
Every night I lay down I have a mental storm after storm
But when I was free and out we were goin’, we were goin’
She is always on my mind but I’m torn, yeah I’m torn
And it ain’t no one to blame cause I was wrong, I was wrong
I’m just hopin’ she will be there when I come home!

I like how you wrote the poems in jail because sometimes my cousin in jail will write poems
I can relate to being in love and not knowing what the future holds. At the same time, I can’t imagine what it’s like to not know if the one you love will be there when you return. I can imagine though that you’re missed just as much. Keep writing… The answers are in your words.
This was a shorter poem but the words made up for it. I thought this poem flowed very nicely. I can’t imagine what it must feel like being in love and having to wait for the one while being in prison, wondering if they will still be waiting for you. You have a lot of hope which is very inspiring, and you shouldn’t lose that. I hope she is waiting for you on the other side with open arms, keep your head high.
I love the feeling this poem gives me. I love how you describe your feelings about her and how you believe you and her will have a future and still do have a future once you are done serving your time.
This poem beautifully captures the emotional struggle and longing you feel. It’s heartfelt and raw, making the reader really connect with your sense of hope and reg
