"Why me God?" Part 2

"Why me, God?"

By Norris, after spending 14 years in prison with over 4 stints in solitary confinement. This passage was written by Norris in his second year of Solitary Confinement after spending 14 years locked up for a crime he did not commit. Giving to me to share with the world, after 25 years. 

"Suicide thoughts are pulling me, the fight in me keeps pushing me.

     I'm finding myself in a state of confusion.

A part of me is tired of the burden of pain, loss & sorrow; But the other part tells me I'm strong,

    even in my weakest moments. I shall become even stronger. 

I face this mental, emotional, and spiritual battle each and every day I awake.  As I journey

    another day from within this dark place of the lost, abandoned, and forgotten.

This place many call -THE BELLY OF THE BEST,the garbage disposal of society-Prison    

    This journey is and forever will be difficult for me. It has caused me many afflictions

        mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and yes, also physically. 

Because I've been held in captivity for fourteen years for transgressins in which were never

    made. So, because I must awake to this evident reality each and everyday, its like

        being stabbed deeply and I must endure the pain because no ones listening to my cries

            for "help!" A deaf ear has fallen apon me because I've been stripped of my wealth.

So now I'm forced to lay amongst the dead, the silent, the buried.

    Yes, I've screamed for help. No one listened. I've cried for help, that hasn't been answered.

        I've criedd for help. They looked and laughed but kept on by.

            So I find myself asking the unanswered - "WHY ME GOD?"
