Not a poet and I DO know it!!!

Turn a burned out guard loose with a word processor and bad things happen.....

(just something I hacked out while feeling sorry for myself the other day...no need to panic....LMAO)

The Felony Abyss

My mind wanders...
...thinking something's amiss
A steel door slams
I'm in the Felony Abyss

I dive these depths
to earn my spoils
And sentence myself
to this life of turmoil...

...A penance I pay
for a young life squandered
What could I have changed
I often ponder

Hatred and anger
Misery and pain
Violence and danger
All decency drains

A sub-culture
beyond all compare
Your sanity at risk
enter if you dare

I walk this line
protect a public ungrateful
No thanks do I get
their writings ever hateful

At the end of the day
I exit the door
Another piece of myself
I leave on the floor

At night when I'm home
I lie in my bed
Try to shake the demons
loose from my head

I'll return tomorrow
though I know not why
'tis my solemn wish
to bid the abyss goodbye
