Think about choice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"f2\">Think about what I would say if I had a voice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"f2\">They took my tongue, blinded me, and threw me in an off-the-books cell. Not the cushy kind where Dons and billionaires lounge. The kind that mind you wish that had just placed you in the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"f2\">To get me to talk, they cracked my face, but I&#8217;m a made man and I know my place. Here I only know vague light and pure dark. For every week that goes by, I make a mark.
