Poem- Hindered Justice


The day I was sentenced the judge gave me 35.
When reality hit, my flesh cried, and my soul died......
I lost the strength to go on; without my children my mind was gone.......
All I could do was lay in my bed and try my best to cope with the thoughts in my head.
God knows my innocence.
I’m screaming.....SET ME FREE....
Begging that the others come clean.
My freedom was taken for a crime I didn't commit......
I’m looking for JUSTICE that I didn't get.......
It's funny my charge partner was willing to take the stand,
but she wouldn't tell the truth even if she raised her right hand.....
She turned States just to cut a Deal, it’s crazy they believed her over what's real.......
Everyone's so grimy, but I still stand tall.
I'm gonna keep my head up and refuse to fall......
All I want is Justice for the families...
That's what they deserve.......
In order to do that my voice must be heard!!!!!!!!
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME BE SET FREE!!!!!!
I got four children and a grandson that need me!
I ain't NO SNITCH, but the truth must be told.....
My children need me and my case his grown cold.........
