Prison is a State of Mind

Interrogation is my Expectation

at Mental-Health-Probation.

with Conviction Officer Jessup

reiterates, “DO NOT Mess-Up.”

I’d been trampled underfoot,

Charged by herds of Bull-

SHIT flashing Red, White,

Blue, Trapped.  It was a wrap.

“I’m just a Lowly Road Cop [cuffing

your Wrist to the Emergency rail].”

In custody the ill Will deteriorate,

I was Present, Property of The State.

Rebooting keeps me out of jail

now I relax and paint my Nails

no cell surrounds, suicidal and frail.

No more prayer for ten percent bail.

In Arabic, Ayesha means Life--I am Woman--of Poetry, Poetic Prose, Photography, and the Creation of All of My Dreams, all of which end in Artistry. I have often been referred to as Enigmatic and Magnetic, but also Selfless ("to a fault"). Some call me an "m-path" because I am highly compassionate. I sincerely hope that you enjoy all that I have to offer. Thank you for taking the time to Read Me. I am Proud. I am Ayesha. With Love, Ayesha R. Gill عايشة رامازاً جل
