There is hope
There is hope
The change in my life started when I was put in a situation to protect some young white new to prison. So I show them how to lead by example and a fight occurred a lot of people hurt. I went to the hole mad at the world and the prison guards knowing what I was about showed me who was really in control and beat me. The hate I felt was beyond compare. I couldn"t lash out to anyone so I started to beat the walls in the hole until my hands were broken and bloody, and it was at that point the rage and hate had so consumed me I dropped to my knees and screamed. I honestly wanted to kill somebody to release this feeling inside me. Then at that moment god came to me and removed it all, and when I say removed, I mean he took the hate, the rage, the loneliness from inside of me and gave me something I never had: hope. And this hope carried me back to the yard where the people I had been associated with couldn"t understand what had happened to me. So I waited for it- you know- the shiv in the back the neck, but it never came and it is only by the grace of god I"m typing this story. I was released on dec 27 2012 and I have been going to meetings and talking to kids about my life and how god has changed me from the inside. I have to praise god for saving me from me; as god works though me I"m excited to share and to say there is hope for us all, as long as we don"t use. And hell yes its hard to make it day to day but god carries us when we can"t do it on our own. He put my family, my children and the women I love back into my life even though I don"t deserve to have such beauty and amazing people around me. My hope is to share; we have to give it away in order to keep it. So never forget there is hope, and his name is god.
