Striving Struggle of a Juvenile "Growing Grown" in a System

By William L. Green

This isn't another hood book. This is a book of enlightenment education is the most important thing of life because we pay for what we don’t know. This is my trail, error and experience. We all got our own journey, but it’s said “a wise man can learn from a lesson from a failure of another.” In other words you can watch someone get burned and be wiser to not put your hand on the stove. Striving the struggle of a juvenile growing grown in the system can affect many people. A juvenile can’t be blamed for lack of Knowledge and Understanding, but I believe the grown could be held accountable for the lack of Guidance.

PSALM 23

The LORD is my shepherd;

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness

For his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of

the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, for thou art with me

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the

presence of mine enemies

thou anointest my head with oil

My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall

follow me all the days of my life

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD

forever.

KJV

*DEDICATION

I dedicate this book to my parents, my kids and the people I’ve hurt and helped alone my journey. I dedicate this to a striving Teenager. I’m still struggling against that Teenager mind frame. To all the people who weather the storm with me. To the people who truly uphold the law with great Dignity and Integrity.

STRIVING THE STRUGGLE

The struggle is when you keep pushing through the fake, hate and ache on an unknown mission to proceed a vision to know human is all equal an eye for eye from young to old seeking a goal of mental and financial stability. The enemy is you and sometimes it’s me seeking Knowledge, Wisdom and understanding gun violence ain’t necessary all the time knowing the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. I try to avoid the collision, but if not I go at life head on I could be right or wrong, but

God is to judge to turn the other cheek to a snake might make me hold a grudge. Thru the struggle I’m gone strive till I’m unable to budge show no pity to a grower so I’m good wit no love life is full of X’s and O’s and I ain’t talking kisses and hugs, but I rather that than pushes and shoves

THE SYSTEM

A lot of people might call it jail talk. To be honest sometimes it might be, but in my reality being locked down gives you more time to focus on you and what’s most important in life. It’s sad to say that a lot of people get out and make the same mistakes and come back letting you know recidivism is a real situation. By my observation that’s mostly the people playing cards and dominoes all day and not feeding there brain new strategies to become more successful.

To be honest for someone like me who’s considered to be a street n***a it’s hard to stay focused in a negative environment, but truthfully it’s up to my freedom so I have the power to choose what’s most important. Being locked up gives you patience and time to find you. A lot of people find God behind these walls because your family and friends abandon you and you search for compassion and realize God is going to be the only person to listen the late nights on lock down. My mama always say it’s like being in the Army or a college campus, it is except for the Army breaks you down and builds you back up. As for prison breaks you down and you got to have self-discipline to build your own self back up.

It’s crazy that I’m saying this, but prison is a place that could possible save your life or lose your life. It’s like we want people to stay, but also want people to leave so we
