Thank you so much for your beautiful poem about who I can only assume is your daughter, whom you miss very much. I am researching Alcatraz and stumbled on this prison poetry. I want to share your poem with my 7th graders; I hope you don't mind. I think the imagery is absolutely beautiful, and you have captured such a beautiful and vivid moment. Thank you for sharing.
Keep going, brother! I find the best way to do that, is to look back on what has happened, take the best lessons I've learend, and use them to move forward. I can tell you've learned a lot; you've learned more than most people today in America have: you've matured, actually. Take that strength and forge ahead. You've chosen crime before; that's the past, and it's over. Now is the present, and the future lies ahead. Choose a new life of forgiveness and resilience. Even when it gets tough, and you fall away from this new message several times (I'm talking from personal experience here), you can always start afresh and move on. It's like learning to ride a bike, or perfect a free throw shot: it takes time and many tries until you get good at it. After that, you might still mess up (miss the shot; crash your bike). But you know you have the skill, and these mistakes are just fleeting miss-haps. The same goes for changing your old life, and living a new one. Never give up! and keep writing! Talk to you later! --Calhoun25

Former PA.DEATH ROW PRISONER
Dying But Fighting Back
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
