Fifteen
Forever labeled a felon at fifteen
Incarcerated for life at fifteen; as I
Fell in love for the first time at fifteen
They stripped you off of your humanity
Envious was the other "gang leader"
as prison prayers you did lead eventually
Eyes filled with rage as your new found respect he couldn't accept
Now nearing forty, unconstitutional is what they call your sentencing
A/N - Inspired by an old poem of mine
LWOP: At 15
posted in "hourglass"
which is based on a true story
and can be read for a better understanding
