Volume 1 part 2

by Dev   Aug 22, 2012


There are some days when you just don't feel strong.� Ever had that feeling no matter where you're at,
you feel like you don't belong?� Seems like everyone has everything you lack.� I used to feel this way, hide everything behind a smile and a laugh.
But now I'm starting to do things right,� cause shortcuts only get you so far before you have to start from scratch.� Now, I'm not saying I live the perfect life.� It's that I'm finally noticing the light,� at this end of the tunnel.� Realizing there's always opportunities out of my struggles.� I figured out that the people that aren't in your circle,� are just the same as everyone else but just on different levels.� No one seems to get a good grip on the truth,� like seeing wind it feels unattainable.� Cause instead of fighting for our happiness,� we mimick what we see on the news. Focused� more on the sexual instead of intellectual.� Fear of falling, afraid to fly.� Our way of venting is getting drunk and high.� It's a dangerous world we live in;� where people are afraid to express themselves,� so they rather fit in.� It's a shame we got less black men in college,� and more in jail.� As a society we loss courage and honor,� not having anything to die for.� Why be something you're not?� It's a disgrace if you look at where we came from, our forefathers.� If you think you don't have much, still appreciate what you have. Cause there� are plenty of people who would kill to be where you stand.� The key to success is utilizing our present, and learning from our past.

    I think you need part 1:)

    and also to try to edit the poem just so it won't have those symbols. It makes it hard to read this piece.
