Stand Strong

-Billy, Santa Cruz

I’ve been feeling lost lately. I’m back in my hometown juvie without the older homie. He would help me get through my mental problems. We would talk about stuff that we both go through. 

People say trauma bonding is not a good way to make healthy friendships, but I say otherwise. I been thinking a lot in my cell about what’s gonna happen with me. It’s overwhelming because I don’t really know what’s gonna happen. To be honest, it makes me scared. I just got to think positive, and I will get through this.

To everyone that’s incarcerated that reads this, stand strong, head up, and chest out.
