Inner strength

When I leave the system, I know that I'll be different from the person that came into the system. I realize I don't have to wait to be released to see how different things can be. Things are different for me now. I've taken the initiative to become my own best friend while incarcerated and have found myself progressing very rapidly as a result. I have taken advantage of the time that I've had to analyze my past, present, and future. I've had time to think about what life is worth to me, and what I want in life. I know now that there will be times where I'll be the only friend that I have and I can still make it through trials and tribulations, no matter what they are or what the outcome. I know that strength comes from within and it's my choice of how much I wish to exercise that inner strength!!!
