My Life After Me Mam

It's thirteen years since my dear mam passed over ready for the next life During this amount of time, i have done what she wanted me to do And that is to stay away from gang life and do what honest people do It may sound easy to do but after years of sharing the proceeds of crime And having a gang of the toughest of men that would have died for you They misunderstand so they are angry and want to know what the fuck is going on I had to arrange a meeting that i was in fear of going to But to leave the gang this is one of the most important things i had to do So i arranged the meeting in a fast food premises so i would feel safe I was packing with one slug in the breech for i knew for sure that they would be too At the arranged time the top man came walking in He said to me "i believe you want out , when you joined you were only a young kid" I said "yes but i soon climbed the ladder very fast" and became your best earner" "from then on it was only a short few years until i was given access to all areas" He let his glasses drop to the edge of his nose looking like he was in deep thought Then he started to talk about the news and idle chit chat which was unsettling Then he coughed a couple of times then in a rough voice sad ok but there's a catch "1st you are not completely out, you are on 24-hour,7 days a week and 365 days a year call-out 2nd you don't get involved in any graft for anyone even like yourself or another firm He said "finally give my condolences to your family for your mams passing" " i always liked your mam because she would hide me When me dad would come back from the pub pissed and looking for me to give a beating to that's why i have let you go "

I have a mental health illness and I was a inpatient in a private secure mental health hospital not because i was a danger to the public but because i myself was the only person who was in danger from me was myself and that will reflect in my poetry...
