"Face of Stone"
I want to reach out to you,
but will I find you there?
I need someone to comfort me,
and let me know they care.
So many times I've looked around
to find myself alone.
So I've learned to keep it all inside
and wear a face of stone.
But if you look behind my walls,
I'm sure that you will find
A man with a heart of gold,
that's loving, sweet, and kind.
I'm still afraid to reach out,
for fear I'd find myself still alone.
So for now I'll keep it all inside,
and wear a face of stone.

Dear PARC,
I hope my letter, find your spirit and health well; and your holidays rewarding with happiness.
How am I? I am mentally, emotionally, and physically in torment, and deterioration, and suffer unimaginable, and punishing retribution of pains.
My current condition is :
1. I sit and sleep in my wheelchair 24 hours and I have been like this for 3 years and 8 months.
2. My last bath was April , 2004, and I have visible dirt discolored skin, and foul odor.
3. My cell is in the most unsanitary inhumane filthy condition condition with feces, urine, trash, maggots and flies.
4. I stay sick because of the filth, and cannot clean because the inmate has to clean their cell on their own.
5. For 3 years, and 8 months, I have been denied all outdoors and indoors recreational exercise.
I need help to get my story out and told.
Sincerely,
XXX
