Criminal Autonomy

Poem; mentality of a criminal

I'd rather be at peace

spending the night

in a jailed cell

knowing I did something wrong

than lay in my own bed

restless over the fact

that I didn't have the choice to.

    I'm with Silver. I read it a number of times too. The freedom to make choices, even if they're bad ones, is important.
