Essay: "On the Edge"

by Roger Hartley
On the Edge

The edge, how close we live with it each and every day in prison? You never know when you maybe stabbed, jumped, or have to hurt someone! We live each and every day like this because hate runs deep in us behind prison walls. Those of us trying to get off living on the edge live on it even more! Because now all those that hate see you become your own man and they cannot make you do as they wish. Those of us pushed to the edge don't make it out in one piece mentally, physically, or both. This is part of the life a lot of choose. So we can't what we did! All we can do is get off the edge and do what is right for us to live the right way in life.
