Music the introduction
The Curtain rises
There is only one individual act
The dialog will add to the fact
An Actor steps out
The audience applause
The dramatic presence will have a clause
As the Actor moves, so does the spotlight
The dramatic feel, “ HELP ME HELP ME”
A moment pause
Wait and listen
You don’t know what is in my heart
My wounds were of trouble I been through
There was a time I was in Jail
My times in school were a fail
I was at a place at the wrong time
I started hanging out with people I thought were my friends
My life in then
This is my story while
These so called friends had me taking drugs and stealing
I was also Gambling in dealing
My time was all rearranged in my life
I got warnings with advice
But I thought the suggestions weren’t nice
But I guess I was simply sublime
My regrets weren’t kind
So because I lead my own understanding, I served time
Behind those very Jail bars, I learned a hard lesson being rock bottom
It’s easy to fall down, but one must get up
It was a hard lesson to get through
I did a lot of praying and soul searching
My soul must meant for Drugs and stealing
Oh yes, the impact had an influence
It took all of my endurance
I am out of Jail and my life now is on a positive vibe
At least I lived to tell
Believe in yourself
Achieve the impossible
But see your life in fulfilling as possible
