Dakota

Used to call these lyrics for songs, to afraid what 

people would say was wrong or if i would sound 

like a girl but what it really does is gets me through this troubled world.

I started when I was 13,just some chubby kid 

 I was ready to write down how i felt and what I had seen.

I shared my ideas with the homies Darious, Marquel, and Timmy.

check it out man i got this shit in me. We used to write 

together me and Darious. Dreaming of what we 

could be clowning around it was hilarious. 

we would get in deep staying at his house on 

the floor he told me where you sleep. Just letting it flow no matter how 

long it would last. A couple years later this was a thing of the past. 

I had stopped writing to caught up in the struggle and fighting. Paying bills

no time for kid fun and cheap thrills. Just happy i was not in courts

to get my mind off pain i was playing high school sports. It just kept my

the pain off my mental i played football and I wrestled thank God I wrestled.

Fast forward a couple years after graduation working hard got money to buy

my own car for transportation. Life got a lot harder over the years bringing

back sad memories no tears. Man life could of been a lot different with a money tree.

The only time I feel is when i write poetry.

    What do I think? I think writing poetry has got a hold on you. Keep it up, you're doing just fine. ; )
