Faced to live in poverty for a past mistake.?

Hi,Anthony is my name.I'm a convicted felon,before then working jobs since I was 14 years of age.I'm also a first time felon and have a violent record because of drug abuse and bad association that lead to my conviction which is aggravated robbery,which is my only offense that is rearing it's ugly face on my record.My second cousin lead the way for me for which I was naive and never been to jail for anything for my small involvement in which I was used for as a getaway driver.I'm not asking anyone for a pity party and I understand that the way society is;I may be forced to face poverty before me and my girlfriend can even plan to have kids.I was 20 when I got into trouble I'll be 27 later this year and have the faith to ever return to prison.I'm simply misunderstood,I don't have to be rich to make it.I just want an employer that would give me chance to prove I can be trusted and that I'm not a violent individual who has a long arrest record.My co-defendant re-offended for the same type of crime will come home next summer after he been locked away for 3 years already for him not caring about his freedom and livelihood.I care about mine and don't ever want to return to prison even if it means to work at a car wash job or fast food joint to support myself.Even though I have to wait until the end of summer for the car wash job.I'm prepared for the worst as far as society;they want to re-offend even though my friends and family move on without me knowing I'm a good misunderstood person who is smart but dumb because of a felony conviction I didn't plan on committing anyway.Life is hell on earth with my only felony.The little money I projected to make,I'll work for it honestly just to deny my current and new family in felonyville.I really want kids someday but barely have the money to support myself as my grandma who I live with now takes $100 of my $160 benefits I get from unemployment ever other week.Doing time was easier than coming home after prison with the record.Society judge me so badly when I apply for jobs that I know I can do but forced to deal with not getting the job because my only offense.My background has taken it's toll on me mentally waiting for the day I will be judge by GOD instead of man.In the mean time my only conviction has cause me grief with my close family,mother,father,sister,grandparents as all I want is for them to see me successful rather than a failure due to discrimination.I'm gone keep my head up and stay free,even though my current family in a deep dark place called felonyville will make my situation look bad and I suffer because of rotten apple syndrome.I feel hopeless but plan to stay to free for rest of my days which I hope I will see a light at the end of the tunnel.To all who encounter my story have a blessed day.Gone!
