It's behind those stone cold walls that make you think what you use to have.
It's being confined in a small 4 wall cell that make you think what life you lived.
Under the control of security guards, limited access to the people you love, It's there that gives you that choice in your pitchfork life;
Do I get harder and stay bitter
or do I get softer and move on?
It's not always that wall that can confide you
It's not always your cell that drives you insane.
Limiting yourself to your emotions, stashing away your feelings. It's not always your heart that's free
Which then you have to ask
Am I the one in prison
and how do I get free?
I visited my brother today, and peace was settled in the air. Conversations weren't negative and laughter took over the day.
I visited my brother today and was inspired, of the places to feel the lowest, he chose to see the light. In this darkest hour, his eyes are the brightest, during this loney time, he's blessed with an angel. Years of tourment and pain that brings him to one night of regreat, confiding him in institution that only blesses him with life.
His angel helps him see hope
His angel shines the brightest.
His words are without hate
His hands are without violence.
His angel helps him see love.
I visited my brother today,
healthier
content
hopeful
and healthier.
aware,
humble,
forgiving,
and peaceful.
I visited my brother today, and today, he inspired me.
In the darkest hour of your life, when you feel like low is too low, there's always a light shined if you just open your eyes. My hour of hurt passed when I saw his eyes of forgiveness. My life seemed shallow compared to his, but because of his heart, I felt worthy to say
I visited my brother today.

I just happened across the "Recent" postings, and this was on the top. This is amazing. Your brother sounds really inspiring, and it takes a lot of character to turn something so difficult into something so positive. Really well written.
@melissa_orchid - Oh thank you, but for years we fought for his trust. He's got deep rooted issues that seem that his place of freedom wasn't in the public but was confided in prison.
I don't want to end in prison to experience the peace he's found, but I def want the peace he's found in prison.
Thank you.
May God bless you both!
