I must finish my sentence

Prisoner

I must finish my sentence. It was an accident,I didn’t mean to do it.It didn’t happen the way they said it did.Nevertheless,I must finish my sentence.

Some say do I feel trapped? I say not really,once you understand that  you have to complete the sentence,then nothing else really matters or actually everything,every minute detail matters,because you aren’t going anywhere,until you complete your sentence.It’s really quite cathartic,once you accept that.

My meals appear,I eat them and drink my milky tea.Then I go back to finishing my sentence.I don’t think anymore about the unfairness of it all,I just get on with it. One day,one word at a time.Time passes ; and each day is one day closer to completing my sentence.

The End
