In My Cell

by Danielle   Jul 1, 2004


MY CELL
I sit here in my cell
With a man I don’t know
He tells me about his life
As if he’s proud of it, like a show

He tells me of his murders
One of his 2-year-old son
He said he couldn’t take the crying
So he drowned it in the tub

I couldn’t believe my ears
I was just in here for theft
But how could someone do that to another
Now what does he have left

I hated him for what he did
I wanted to kill him in his sleep
But I had you to think of
So I had to not do, but dream

I sit here in my cell
With a man I don’t know
He tells me of his life
As if he’s proud like a show

He tells me of his abuses
How he hurt his dad in a way
He took “care of him while his mom was gone
And took his life away

He took his head
And slammed it on the ground
Over and over again he cried
I wanted to hurt him and make him sound

But again I had to think of my own
I couldn’t turn out that way
I had a life to live
I was getting out someday

I sit here in my cell
With a man I don’t know
He tells me of his life
As if proud, like a show

He tells me of his crimes
How He rapped his little girl
He molested her every night
Till she bleed, and asked no more

I just couldn’t take it any more
There’s no way I could keep close
He deserved to die like no other
I have no regrets for what I chose

I took my hands around his neck
I strangled him till she bled
I didn’t stop till he breathed no more
I didn’t stop till he was dead

I sat by his body and prayed at the stars
For god to take his soul, and heal his eternal scars

Because I couldn’t control my feelings
I took some others life
I acted just like that awful men
I did what I knew wasn’t right

I was gonna get out in a year
Now I won’t see my boy who’s one
He’ll never know what its like to have a daddy
I’ll never know what its like to have a son

I really have nothing to live for
I don’t deserve to have a life
I deserve to be cold and lonely
So I’m gonna do what’s right

I’m not gonna be like that man
And tell people of what I’ve done
Its *ucked up and wrong
So I’m just gonna be gone

I hope you never forget me son
Because you’re all I’ve ever loved
But because I was just like that man
I’ll have to look from above…
