Prison Poem

This is a promise I made while I was in prison, and I missed the most important part of my life. and that is my sons birth. I will live the rest of my days with hurt and regret knowing what I have missed

Prison

© Thomas Kennedy
I got 10 months left in this Penitentiary
Being without you makes it feel like a century
I'm stuck in here for the crime I did
I hate myself for missing the birth of our kid
They can't make enough bars to keep me from you
I am sorry for all the pain and hurt I put you through
10 years of my life has been spent in this place
I will never come back, when I see my sons face
I want to spend the rest of my life cheering you up when your down
I swear I will change this time around

  • I love this poem because I just had a son 2 months ago and his dad was in prison also for his birth. he has been in there for 7 months and has 2 more to go. so he wont get to see him until he is 4 months old. sad.
