PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Living where I live it sometimes seems to me it never ends

we go around this wheel over and over with no concern

"History repeats itself" that's certainly true where I live



I sometimes reminisce about my childhood days

we often look back to see our past mistakes

to some way be able to fix all the wrong things in life



I once held my best friend on north 13th st. as he bleed

He thought he was a big shot and could run this place

But in the end he just layed there begging for forgiveness



I remember as a young Man seeing my Dad taken away

He wasn't a good Husband so he had to pay for the wrong

I don't think I cried for him, I remember thinking why



Later on I saw my brothers arrested for alot of things

but I never worried much because they were my brothers

and I somehow knew they would turn out ok by the grace of God



My best friend Cory once decided to hit a cop

That wasn't a good idea, seeing as he lost his legs

Back then we didn't have video Cameras... just our eyes



One Thursday morning, when I woke up to go to school

I heard alot of noise and my brother was on the floor

handcuffed, that day at school was like a bad dream



Many different moments across my life I wondered

Is my brother going to die in the hospital or prison

Well he be ok to go back one more time



Somewhere along the line, it didn't effect as much

When my friends would leave this earth I somehow knew

It will be ok, because I'm still here and I guess

that's all I can really count on in the place where I live



Everywhere around me, People lose their life

to prison, to kids, to a bullet, it's all the same to me

Whatever happened to the better days o well I think



I remember watching tv and seeing all the foreign deaths

Never once did I see my friends name in the paper

Does anyone know this place exists... or do they just not care



Like I said I sometimes reminisce about my childhood days

but not to correct past mistakes or help the future

To remember that all though my friends left I am still here



I love you Cory, Jennifer, Shawn, Tiny Timmy...

the list goes on, You all will forever be in my hearts

Much Love to my childhood, From now until Forever
