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.
