There are many words I can use to describe myself and what led to
the writing of this poetry book, MyStyle Poetry but I want to use
one and that word is, prison. I am not going to sit here and
justify anything or say I was wrongfully convicted, blah blah blah
but I will say, I, Miguel Gonzalez, spent over a decade trying to
get out of a crazy situation; trying to get out of the prison
system I put myself into. My words come from behind the wall. I was
the one who put in work, I got my hands dirty, fought the police,
was involved in riots, gang wars, fights, stabbings, some I got
caught for and a lot I got away with. Basically, I put in work and
I was and still am respected in the New Jersey prison system. I am
not writing this to big myself up, no, in fact I am writing this to
state the opposite. I am writing this to state that I been there
done that with my head high and my pride intact but all I got out
of it, at the end of the day was a longer bid and a few scare's
about whether or not I would ever see day light again, the streets
again, my freedom. But I am here, free, and I am taking advantage
of my freedom to show off my determination to be who I want to be,
not who society defines me as; an ex-con. I write to inspire people
of my struggle, these poems are real. Whether you can connect or
not one thing you can understand is that I like many other people
within the prison system are very much alive. And though there are
a lot of crazy, evil minded, twisted sort of people behind the
wall, there are also those who just want to figure a way out of the
system, to get their life together in such a way they do not have
to worry about anyone thing, especially the cops knocking down
their door or the door of their family member to put them into
handcuffs. Life is not easy for most of us, I just want to express
a bit of my life in this book of poems, my first book, to say what
I meant to say in the best way I know how.
