poetry. i don t write poetry for the fame, speaking loud with no shame, the words i spit i claim, it s all a part of the game i call life. i consider myself an artist, painting mental pictures in my head. we saw collins the slam poet when she gave an impromptu performance for the women in her jail dorm. and the bible says that god blesses baby and fools. i think god has a sense of humor and is amused, you see, because being in a women s detention center is not all he has in store for me. i guess that s how i started to write poetry. it saved me from arguments, headaches and heartaches. i like it because i feel that i can express, i can teach, i can motivate others. i feel good when i m up there. when i m on stage and i recite and on the mike i feel free. there s no boundaries. living a life of crime bought nothing but misery. i had nice cars, living like a star with the bling-bling and the dress code and my gun always on lock and load on a long, dark road going nowhere.
segregation, with a high probability of being sent to the shu, a place most inmates dread. to me it s prison. it s still prison. it s not going to change. it s still prison. if you send me to the shu or to a level one, it s still prison. i can t leave when i want, i can t do what i want, but i, this is what i can control. i can control you placing another inmate in there. since i can control that, you will not place another inmate in there. next on lockup: raw yes, i had a job. i was a professional escort. i was running my ads in play time magazine and sex action magazine. charged with murder, a former call girl makes peace with the past. yes, i had nice cars, living like a star with the bling-bling and the dress code and my gun on lock and load on a long dark road going nowhere. who has a million things to pick up each month
