I am insperational
September 24, 2008
growing up from state to state,
seeing people talking,
immagrants saying
"do you accept eros?"
my friends are my family,
friends always telling me
"yo, be strong" or
"swallow a bitter pill"
"i love you baby girl"
they taught me
everything i know.
walking the streets,
only to see violence,
and little kids hustlin'
seeing dime bags
all over the sidewalk.
always with my mom,
cooking those family meals,
yum,
look at the turkey
