It’s like I’m on the inside looking at the freedom beyond the bars. People walking and waving, enjoying the freedom denied me for so long. Will I ever walk free like that again? Will I walk with ease like them or will I forever look behind me, constantly afraid that I’ll be suddenly locked up again for some reason on the whim of someone else? Will people hold grudges against me and think I should be locked up still? Will the parole officer be fair? Will I EVER be free to walk along the water’s edge carefree and happy?
