Treading Lightly

by Jesus, San Diego

Honestly, I’m not sure where my life is going. I’m literally in the middle. I am mentally ready to succeed in the world and try to live life differently. But sometimes, my actions show differently.

It’s crazy how hard I’m trying to do good but I always mess up in a matter of seconds. I just had a fight a couple days ago. I think I went on my longest streak of two months without a fight, so I felt I was past due to mess up and I did. 

But now I’m back on the right track. Now if I can keep on doing good for like four months then I’ll be happy. As long as I’m able to continue to progress instead of backtracking. 

I think it’s okay to take a step back as long as I’m taking three forward. But if I do continue to snap and mess up, I’m for sure going to the pen, no if ands, or buts about it. That’s not where I want to go, so I’m going to continue to try my best to do good and get up out this cell.
