A Bright Side

Charles Michael Craven

never thought jail was that bad during my stays,
but after some time in rehab
I don’t think I could ever go back.

in jail, I had waited my whole life to be somebody
until you wake up and realized you needed a visit note just to see somebody
up all night, in all whites wondering where it went so wrong,
hoping you could sneak an extra roll of toilet paper to use as a pillow
surrounded by animals and dirty ass cops.

rehab is like a hotel with nurses,
reclining chairs,
a day room,
co-ed
and better food.

the nurses are even hot
and no one carries a gun.

how did it take me this long to get here?
