Title: Tiny's Jail Poem
Author: Aaron Douglas
Theme: being me
Story: Behind these prison walls
Doing my basis
Doing my time
This is seven sun rise
And seven sun fall
But I don’t believe in that falling down thing at all
Because life considers as it goes
Some times you’re up like a tower in the sky
And some time you’re down like a root in the ground
But now I’m banged up life’s like a fish in a tank
Because prison for me is a thugs worst nightmare
