See Me Now

See me now

                               I once had a wife and a home
                               Now I'm in a cell all alone
                               Thinking of ways I shouldn't take blame
                               And defying reality from all shame.

                               I once held a reliable position
                               Had keys, even made a transition
                               But if you see me now I'm nothing
                               Because I played with life's blessing.
                                                          
                               I once owned a fancy car of pleasure
                               Now all I own is a cell that measures
                               Eight by eight by a huge sixteen
                               reminding myself that my life was a dream.

                                But still there is something I own
                                And that's pride for its shown
                                That patience loves to wait
                                For time is its only mate......
