The more time I spend in this cell,
The more the devil can control his hell.
Let me be free from all this pain and hate,
But sometimes I just think it too late,
Why does all this pain happen to me?
Can this demon just set me free,
It feels as though my hands are tied,
I think about my babies. Only to break down and cry,
I try over and over, again and again,
Please believe me my honourable friend,
Home sounds so sweet to the heart,
If only shown from the very start,
I only wish for my hands to be freed,
Don’t beat me up about my past.
Coz I truly am a good seed.

The poem was written in the early weeks of being on remand, expressing my raw emotions while coming to terms with it all.
Here I sit inside my cell, thinking to myself, is this Hell? Cold and dark, with a terrible smell. I think it is, only time will tell.
A poem for the one true love of my life. I wish I could change the past, but I can only change my future.
