Find Out Who Your Friends Are
By James Tench
You know that song by Tracey Lawrence and Tim McGraw… If you haven’t listened to it in awhile, give it a listen to. That song was onto something.
I mean when I got locked up, no one was there for me. No one gave a damn to really listen… No one cared to listen. They believed all of the lies and bullshit no matter how much it didn’t make sense. Even now when I’ve actually hired experts and proven it was all bullshit, STILL NO ONE WANTS TO LISTEN.
I mean DAMN Felicia!!! Who was there for you when you had nowhere to go and your own family wouldn’t help you? Who was there when some dumbass shaved half of your dog? Who picked you up on the side of the road when your battery was dead? Who took you on your first out of state vacation?
DAMN Gordon, who gave you a place to stay when you needed a place for a few months while you finished college? Who helped you fix up you S-10 when you rear ended a delivery truck?
DAMN Sierra, who protected you and Memphis from her dad when he was stalking you and her?
DAMN Kenny, who got into a fight with four drunk idiots outside of 2Bucks in the freezing cold because one of them was harassing your date and you couldn’t stick up for her yourself?!?
DAMN you all!! To ALL OF Y’ALL I was the first one to call when you needed help… Where were y’all and where have y’all been the last 12+ years when I’ve been going through hell?!?
Find Out Who Your Friends Are is right…
At the Bottom of a Well
By James Tench
Over 12 years ago I fell to the bottom of this well.
Horrible things happened and they were blamed on me.
For over 12 years I have been saying I did not do this.
No one believed me.
No one gave a damn to help me out of the well.
10 years ago I was convicted for those horrible things.
10 years ago I was sentenced to death for those horrible things.
Day after day the well gets deeper and deeper.
No one believed me.
No one gives a damn to help me out of this well.
Three years ago someone believed me.
Three years ago someone listened to me.
Two years ago proof was filed I was telling the truth.
Two years ago a few more people believed me.
But still on death row,
At the Bottom of a Well.
Insanity ‘til it’s Over

5:30am my alarm clock is going on
Wake up brush my teeth
Wash my face
Turn on the news and hope nothing negative comes on before the weather
Make a cup of coffee
Clean the cell
Do as many sets of push ups that I can til they open the doors
Take my laundry down to get washed
Go to breakfast
Count the number of mice and roaches running around the chow hall
Go to rec to work out or play basketball
Come back to the block
Shower then wait around til lunch
Go to lunch
Count the number of mice and roaches running around the chow hall
Come back to the block
Clean the showers
Take a shower
Turn on country music
Get on lexis nexis
Wait til dinner
Go to dinner
Count the number of mice and roaches running around the chow hall
Come back to the block
Take another shower
Brush my teeth
Get ready for bed
Turn the TV on to something that might be entertaining, then put the sleep time on for 90 minutes
Make sure the alarm clock is set
