Lost

Okay I think I have lost who I am and I think it's because of all the shit I have gone through in the last couplke of years. I guess after getting jumped 12 tiomes and being seriously beaten, having been extorted for my psych meds and finally being raped that it would be easy to lose pieces of myself. Don't think it's just inmates who have screwed me, the guards have by and watched me get beaten. They have started rumors about me and promised gang members that no one would get into trouble if they hurt me. THey have made fun of me when I tried to get help from them and insulted me about my sex preference. The federal justges not only sit by and watch the civil rights of prisoners get trounced but they will use their power to dismiss our claims which in turns allows the abuse and torture to continue. What am i supposed to do when the people who are there to champion my rights as an incarcerated citizen of this country look the other way? Sometimes I think it would be better just to die but my mom raised a fighter and I will find the chink in their armor and I will use that to bring the whole corrupt system down. You all take care of your selves

Peace :| Donny

You tell a heartbreaking story. I know the experiences in our lives change the people that we are and I'm sorry you've had to face so many painful challenges. I'm sure you're not lost though... If I can find you here, I'm sure you can find the man you are supposed to be... If not the 'you' you always knew, then perhaps a new, improved version. Someone stronger than you ever thought you could be. I hope you can find your strength & in that strength - peace.

You take care too.

Nicki
