Hi, My name is LaAmy'a, and I'm seventeen years old. I've been dating the same guy, named Dustin for the last four years. Dustin is not only my fiance, but my best friend, who's been there for me through everything.
Great right? The perfect life that everyone wants... pure happiness?
Dustin has been locked up for the last four years. I haven't seen him in four years, and it breaks my heart. He's locked away in another state, and it's sometimes very hard on our relationship. But I gotta be strong, because in a year, I can bring him home. But I'm moving closer to him in a few months so that I can go see him.
What I want?
If you can relate, this is good
Because I need friends that are in the same situation as me, or similar, and can relate. I want you to open up to me, and tell me your story, in a poem.
1. Are you dating/engaged/married to a convict? All you wonna do is bring them home, and be able to be with them? Tell me about it.
2. Is your best friend locked away? Why? Give them hope to not give up, and be good.
3. Something to do with someone you love being locked up.
Rules:
1. No more then 2entries per person please.
2. Swearing's allowed.
3. Be nice to others
4. In your author comments, please tell me why this person is locked up. How long they've been locked up, and when they'll get out.
It's not a rule, but would be nice if you comment on at least one other persons poem
