I have protested my innocence
And since then, have lost my breath
I've lost every scrap of hope I had
And think the only solution, is death.

I have tried so hard to keep myself together
And so hard to cry
But I won't cry at all;
But wait for myself to die.

God's timing is the best
I have made a dozen prayers
And went on my hands and knees
So he knows I'm not one of those slayers.

So pray with me all of you
Because I need my family
You, my brothers and sisters
To all set me free.

These people are so wicked
And so cruel to me
I do not know what I have done
Yet, they keep me in captivity.

They slap me and kick me
Into a cell
They point fingers at me
And only yell.

Pain, they have sewn
And they have knitted
Heartache, I have grown
For murder, I have not committed.

    That was wow....im like crying horribly now...great job on that...and on this story book of a poem...like every stanza was a chapter or a page...i was just so intense with it....i dont know how i can describe how i feel right now....there are so many words that i could say for this....heart breaking...but then it puts a touch on the heart of the meaning...tear breaking.....a wonderful but unusual melody...just nice job...<3 ^-^

    Really good Chinwe. I think it's spelt sewn, not sown... in the last stanza.

    Besides that i think its very good.
