Pain of a Villain
I take medication to forget about the past
Open seats
Remind me of a lot of things
I been through a thousands times
Forgotten memories are somewhere in paradise
My life is a tug of war
Tomorrow is never a promise
I live life like I don’t have nothing to lose
I enjoy the little things I do have
Observe closely the things going on in your life
Listen and pay attention to what is going on around you
You can only control the things around you
Don’t ever change who you are
Every month, a physical envelope arrives at your door, postmarked from San Quentin Village, California. Inside, you will find original artwork, writing, and recipes from real contributors, along with a personal letter from me, Diane Kahn, founder of Humans of San Quentin, about the people who made them. You read it. You keep it.
Every piece comes from someone serving a sentence. Every piece reminds you they are so much more than that.
