Remembering my life, the moutains and hills I had to cross.. Very many blessings, but with every blessing came a loss.. Anger deep within, masked with a smile.. People passing judgement, but in my shoes couldn't walk a mile.. Abused a a child, I took it like a man.. Why it was happening, I couldn't understand.. Doing so many rights, which were followed by wrongs.. Wanting to run, because i felt I didn't belong.. Even after the abuse, I still battled the world..  Watching the tug of war, between heaven and hell unfurl.. The good and evil in me, would pull back and fourth.. Mom constantly reminding me, of all I'm worth.. She use to tell me, beating the block didn't make me a man.. But it didn't matter to me, as long as cash was in my hand..  Eventually coming to my senses, I saw the world for what it was.. Everyone out for self, never giving a damn about us.. I lost trust.. In everyone around me, I graduated from school.. No matter what I did in the streets, mom didn't raise a fool.. Assossiate, bachelors, and finally my masters.. Many questions in my head, and alone I find the answers.. Doing what it takes, to stand alone as a man.. Respect in this world, is the only thing I demand.. Nothing else, from January till December.. I need nothing else from the world,because forever I remember
