What a letter will mean
if you haven’t been where I’ve been.
I am confined in a world
behind four walls.
I can’t see anyone I love
and I can’t receive no calls,
I used to wake up out of my sleep
confused and alarmed.
Hoping that my friends and family
haven’t been hurt or harmed
But then I come back to my senses.
and when I look out my window
I see rolls of barb and fences.
No note, nor letter
and not even a card,
and when no one writes
time sure get hard on the yard.
“You will never know,”
what a letter will mean
until you’ve been where I’ve been,
or seen what I’ve seen.
“Write soon”.
