📱 eBook en inglés OPEN EYES

"Open eyes" is my soul laid bare. I cannot remember a time that things didnt deeply affect me. Although, I could never put it into words. So I punched and kicked walls. Ive sworn, yelled, bit at the air; and, at my lowest point, tried to end it all. Today, I look at the toll on my body, my scars (inner and outer), and marvel at how I ever ended up in such dark places... and more importantly, how I ever came back from them. I have been incarcerated in prison for the majority of my life under the worst sentence possible: Death! Men with this sentence are relegated to a building that is segregated and isolated from all other prisoners. Thus, the people you meet are also faced with the same uncertainty. Over the years Ive lost so many friends, and am so troubled by it. I dont know if I can ever emotionally bond in this place again. Ive often asked guys whove been here longer than me how they do it. Ive gotten numerous answers. Some discovered God. Some discovered themselves through meditation, art, crafts and creative writing. Ive tried various forms of religion before turning to Christianity; giving my life to Christ and giving it meaning. I also discovered poetry and creative writing (the language that gives sound to feeling). The fists of my emotions strike the walls inside of me (trapped and wanting out), finally finding a means of expression. "Open eyes" is me, raw and uncut; free and unchained.
