Plea of Innocence

I'm in a cell with a man I do not know
He's blind to my world and I to his
I feel like a discarded picture
stuffed away in an attic
20 years have snaked its way
leaving lines all over my faces
I could dream away moments
by latching onto a fallen tree
letting the current bend my will
something prison could not do
I would rather sink to the bottom
where it is cold and lonely
while holding onto my plea of innocence

One of the worst feelings in life is to feel forgotten, even for a month or week(s) much less for 20 years!! It so easily can get to the point where one feels like they are not just forgotten but that they no longer even exist either. I enjoy reading your words of self expression and they speak volumes from the soul. I noticed you ended this one about a plea of innocence....if I had to suffer for just 10 yrs much less 20 and was innocent, I cant imagine what my heart mind or soul would break down and do to my world....or what I had left of it anyway. I admire you for your strength and for even being able to express how you think and feel after so long of being discarded (a perfect word you use) and forgotten like something in an attic that nobody even remembers or knows of anymore. I have felt that feeling, but share my kindest thoughts with you and send them your direction because I have never experienced it like you must have. I know this can be personal, but is there anything you can do to change this if you did not do this crime? Has anything in the past done more other than let you down or left you hanging with false promises or too busy lawyers/defenders? I feel for you, James, and truly send the kindest of peaceful thoughts to you at this second. From CC.
