Prison

Here I sit inside these walls
A prison not of my making
I stare out through shuttered bars
The world revolves around me

All you see is a broken shell
My chin has drool dribbling
There is no way you I can tell
Inside this shell here is me

One minute my life was great
The next a bullet did end it
So here I sit now a broken man
And no-one knows I'm in here

Awww come on now my dear friend...Live life to its fullest will you? It is so grand..Look at me, I might just be gone tomorrow and I am smiling as big as the Universe. I love you Steve, all of you who had been so supportive and very vocal for my defense. I can't tell you enough how lucky I am to be your friend and if God chooses that I live longer, I will be your most wanting friend, and this is a promise...Ha ha ha..never end in need. you guys will be so tired you will bury me alive..

Thank you Windy .... trust me I am living life to the fullest ... this write is taken from the view of a man who one minute was going about his business living his life and the next minute he was shot and is now living his life as a vegetable unable to communicate with the outside world due to brain injury
