My name is Roosevelt Smith, I’m 49 years old (2011) and at this moment I’m incarcerated on Texas Death Row.
It seems as if most of my life lessons has come through pain, and this situation is definitely a painful learning experience. I realize now that although I’ve been alive my whole life, I never really lived. I’ve never known love or real friendship.
Now as I sit in this cell alone thinking back to all the wild nights and missed opportunities that reality hurts. I see other inmates getting their mail at mail call hoping I would get a letter. But only to be passed again. I wish someone would be there for me, but still I sit in this cell with only my thoughts to keep me company.
I’m so tired of being alone. I haven’t heard from my family in years. I just want to know someone who cares. If you have it in your heart to be a true friend, please let me hear from you, even if it’s only to send a few kind words, every word will truly be appreciated, but above all else rather you have time to correspond or not.... please keep me in prayer.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Roosevelt Smith a.k.a. Smitty
