Not Robin Hood

I never claimed to be like Robin Hood To steal from the rich and give to the poor If they were in hunger i would feed them and invite them to come back for more If they were wealthy i would invite them to donate Otherwise, i would come knocking at their door I would not take all they have But i would warn them that i would be back for more Soon i would have local businessmen paying me for protection I kept to my word, if anyone got hassled by local thugs I would take the main culprit for a ride and a chat It would cease and regarding the hassle, there would be no more Call me a criminal or a gangster i didn't care I know for a fact the local businessmen would prefer to pay me and mine Because of the thugs the next day their business would not still be there I never claimed to be like Robin Hood To steal from the rich and give to the poor If they were hungry I would feed them and invite them back for more This was the type of gangster life I lived but I changed my life around just over 10 years now since my best friend was murdered

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...
