"Is prison , for the criminal or is prison for the one who commits a crime ?"

I' ve heard many times ,
"There' s no such thing as a stupid question."
That' s subjective.
Too broad of a spectrum ,
too many variables if you ask me.
But what I DO believe ,
is maybe some questions
don' t have an answer.

Now that I' ve introduced myself ,
I' m ******* tired.
I' m tired of being alone
and I am ******* tired
of being tired.
It feels like
I have to enter a God Forsaken ,
raffle.....
just to get a TASTE of luxury.
I don' t gamble.

When you hear "luxury"
you' re probably thinking
"Big house."
"New car."
"Nice clothes."
Those are cool ,
but the luxury I crave ,
is comfort.
Comfort and sleep ,
a whole lot of sleep.

The late Myles Munroe once said
"We want power."
It' s why we chase fame and riches.
None of that feels like me.
None of that IS me.
I just want ,
to not be so ******* used.
I want ,
to not be constantly manipulated ,
and laboured
and tested
and tempted
and tortured
and stressed.

Notice ,
I said "...the luxury I crave"
not "the luxury I chase."
I' m a firm believer in ,
whatever has to be chased
simply doesn' t want to be caught.
But a man can dream.

I commit crimes ,
but I am NO criminal.

I' m just ******* tired.
