Writing Poems

This is another poem from Susanville Prison from someone I know very well.

Writing poems is like straddling a fence...
It's hard to balance rhyming and making perfect sense...
Poems are not just to express how we feel, they are also to percieve what we think is real.
Whether keeping it together or living a lie, writing poems is a release that helps us get by.
I want to sit and write a special poem for you...
But until then I hope this one will do.
