Well that's because he tried to push out of the car in front of<br />
my son while going 85 on 95<br />
Doctors say I was lucky<br />
But I went back again all he had to say was TRUST ME<br />
I flunked out of school<br />
Son with my mom<br />
And we moved into a one bedroom right down the street<br />
Tired of waitressing and having to stand on my feet<br />
He said he loves me with aaaaallll his heart<br />
And I'm still getting beat<br />
Most likely to succeed<br />
Now has missing teeth<br />
I'm so ashamed when I speak<br />
I should have listened to mommy and daddy<br />
Something in the back of my mind telling me to go get checked<br />
for STDs<br />
Doctor called me back today<br />
Told me I have HIV<br />
No longer living pageant queen dreams<br />
I felt as tho my soul had stepped outside of my body<br />
I felt cold<br />
Nobody would ever want me a again<br />
How was I gonna tell my only remaining friends<br />
That I was now facing a terminal drift from my sins<br />
Didn't even make it to a wedding Told him I was leaving<br />
going to make a new beginning out whatever I had left out of<br />
this life<br />
So he grabbed me by my throat<br />
Both hands real tight and close<br />
Gasping<br />
Blood starts coming outta my nose<br />
I reached for a knife<br />
And I blacked out<br />
Woke up with brand new shoes<br />
A brand new room<br />
Still no crown on my head<br />
Stainless steel toilet<br />
Thin mattressed bed<br />
Lawyer say they found him dead<br />
Said he had multiple Puncture wounds to the throat and<br />
head<br />
The rest of my life is what the judge said<br />
Dreams down the drain<br />
Hopes gone to hell<br />
Full blown aids<br />
Reconstructed jaw<br />
Fist fights in the yard<br />
Dad died of cancer<br />
Why me ....I guess this is my answer<br />
to deal with it and live and hope that god will forgive me....<br />
Wish I would have done things differently<br />
I started sharing some of my poetry to my home girls from c<br />
block<br />
It's funny because Even though I didnt have anything left<br />
to give<br />
I was still a writer inside<br />
It was the only thing I could make possible and true<br />
But hey what can you do<br />
Doctors say I have about year maybe two.....IF I'm lucky<br />
I'll be outta here soon<br />
This is her story<br />
She was INMATE #6789-12<br />
(Dedicated to women behind bars who lost their life on love<br />
and to heart of a dream that shines in darkness).
