Saturday Beats: Juvy

From the latest Beat Within.

Juvy
Juvy is a personal experience,
from the courtrooms to the closed doors, to the
handcuffs.
It depends upon yo’ case or yo’ attorney and your
probation officer, should I say.
They say you in here for a while,
then weeks and months, it’s what come by.
The days and nights you sit inside of here, it makes you
wanna cry.
One phone call ain’t enough and it’s the number they select.
They call us delinquents and don’t even know the facts.
Juvy was my second home, but I changed that around.
Now I’m right back where I started. Damn, ain’t that a
frown?
-Brianna, San Francisco
