I don’t know what my future brings,
Whether it be good or bad,
But either way I await eagerly,
Cos if I didn’t, I’d be mad,

I’ve done a lot of thinking lately,
And I’ve really focussed on what kind of man I am,
I asked myself “Why am I forever stuck in the darkness”
And why I convince myself I will forever be damned,

But the answers that I received back,
Came as a surprise to me,
My sentence in the prison of self-hate now has a potential end,
And one day freedom I might actually be allowed to see,

I still don’t know when I will be allowed out,
I just know that my realise is now actually a potential,
Cos apparently my sentence is being cut short,
Cos my punishment was more than substantial,

For what I thought would be a lifetime of pain,
For a man rotten to his core,
Was just a time out for a good man who just simply made mistakes,
And my prison time need not go on for much more,

So I await my eventual release,
From the HMP of Self Hate,
To which I have been granted,
Cos I done the punishment, but I also decided to learn and educate,

So if I can,
I shall share with you what my time inside has taught me,
And I do hope you listen,
Cos once you enter the walls of that hell hole it’s hard to be set free,

We have all have challenges and we all have made mistakes,
But it doesn’t define who we are,
And as long as we own it and learn from it,
We need not serve time and shall only see the HMP of Self hate from a far,

So allow yourselves to repair,
And realise the demands from the demons in our heads we need not adhere,
Cos as soon as I get the key to my cell,
I’m getting the fuck outta here!!!
