Letter to the kid


The kid got locked today, The kid got locked on some worthless charges today. He doing a few weeks in the system. Eating that disgusting jail food, Having someone make his decision for him. All of this is happening for a whole 3 weeks . When i first found out i was like bro thats crazy. The only thing i could think about was how alone he must felt. I was like let me write the kid a letter, so he know that im here for him. The kid is so smart, he just do dumb shit. 17, black and locked up he already a statistic. If he fuck around and bring a baby in this world before he even get a chance to ask a girl for her hand, I swear to god ima drop down and cry. All this disappointment, when i know he deserve better. So i write the kid a 2 page letter and i tell him " stay focused, im here for you, and i love you I'll be waiting " I wrote a letter to the kid and i told him i love him. I wrote a letter to the kid and i told him i love him.
