Evelle: No, ma'am. We released ourselves on our own recognizance.
sent down hard as a kid for dumb shit
i let them take away my sun
enrolled in the school of the hardest knocks
the house of the sizing run
every single day was a fight for survival
i wont lie and say that it was fun
i hit the fence like a demon running
as i left the house of the sizing run
up and over in no time flat
my journey has just begun
surreptitiously i took my leave
from the house of the sizing run
gotta put the miles between me
between me and the man with the gun
gotta get me far, far away from here
and from the house of the sizing run

Building A Better Tomorrow
In the field which I work in, I have learned many things, and of those things, I would most certainly say that the most valuable tool I have in my arsenal, which has the greatest capability of helping to not just bridge the gaps, that exist when communication barriers are present, it allows for the true establishment of authentic connection, this tool is none other than Compassion. I take time each and every morning, to reflect on the experiences I have had, and when I began doing this initially, I had much more than yesterday to reflect on, I had years of trauma which had been left in the darkness, having had no light truly shed upon them for a substantial duration of time. When something happens to us, of either a smaller less significant impact, or something of a greater, more significant impact, we must always ensure that we take the time to analyze, and process these events, regardless of how big or little they may be.

This feels like a whole story inside a poem. Fantastic.
This felt so unsettling. Loved your poem!
And good luck to your protagonist there!
Is this house in New Orleans? Lol. Nice one Brenton.
I liked "Raising Arizona" too. And "house of the sizing run" is excellent!
