-John, San Quentin State Prison, CA
The point of no return is the door to freedom from accountability
Nothing matters after the point
However, it is also the point when everything I do matters
When everything I do can’t matter to anyone else
When there is no more reason to be kind, be kind still
When there is no hope for the future, dream still
When there is no chance for changing, try still
When there is no love received, love still
When there is no expectation to be me, be me
When there is no need for self-restraint, be calm still
When there is no freedom, be free.
