Just a poem...

Looking back on my child hood
I don't remember any good
We had no money. We had no food
It wasn't safe to play in my neighborhood
Parents constantly fighting
Had me resorting to writing
Sneaking out at night
I would hustle and fight
I was too cool for school
Witnessed my best friend lose in a gun duel
Committed crime after crime
now I'm doing the time

What if you came home one day

just to find everything taken away

What if you had no place to sleep and no place to weep

What if all you gained was gone
would give up or would you move on

i'm a survivor. even when life has dealt me a bad hand and i let
it take me over for awhile, i always find a way out. life is too
precious, people in my life are too important. there's always
something, however small, that you can hold on to that gives you the
kick is the arse you need to start appreciating your life, again. flowerforyou

Giving up has never been an option for me.
