Seeking Friendship

Rayshan Watley

In all my life I have done nothing but try to live and breathe my truth, to say and do that which has been utmost in my heart and mind. Through a lack of knowledge and understanding (immaturity) I've made mistakes that cost me the most precious and important years of my life. Mistakes that have brought me to the brink of my existence and the end of everything I thought I knew about what it meant to be alive.

Experience has humbled me, taught me how to be a real man and how to stand on my own two feet. Now I'm ready to live a real life. After twelve long years of being trapped behind these bars (starting at the age of seventeen) I'm about to be free as I'm preparing to go to the parole board in October, 2011, My mind is focused and there is no one on this earth more serious about living life to the fullest than me. The hard part is over.

Now I'm looking for some new friends on the other side of these gates. I have no vices, my constitution is solid, and I'm ready to give my all. If you feel me reach for me and I will respond
