Getting left behind.not being born with a silver spoon was what brought me to this ugly cell.wishing i could change.wishing i could make my life better.wishing for another chance.wishing for someone who would come and save me from this prison.my fears not being left behind by chief simon.no being understood nor care.i hide this pain in my heart making sure no one sees my hurt.pretending to be happy while i’m not.

To be in a cell is not a place to be.and is not advisable.everything about it is ugly.abstain from anything that will lead you there.

The police guy lead me to were chief simon was.withing some seconds.we got there.immediately i saw him.i froze and stood like a stature.fear was writting all over my body.i open my mouth to greet him.but the word refuse to come out.i just stood looking at him.as if i havn’t seen him before.

He saw me and stood like a lion that was ready to attack.he wasn’t smiling at all.his face alone could chase devil away.i became scared.i would have run away if i was giving an opportunity.he gave me a scarey look.before i manage to said.
