i wake up each day embracing life
knowing we are never promise tomorrow
i ask myself, whats my purpose in life
it was always said we are born with a purpose-we need to know what that is
i find myself taking a journey through the streets of the bronx (where i'm from)
bronx is known to be the murder capital of new york
does my jouney stop or do i continue?
i ask myself, am i sellout because i want to see beyond my surroundings or should i be in comfort zone just exploring uptown to the south bronx
but then, what would life really be if i dont experience other avenues beside 3rd
one thing i know about life is that if i dont see beyond my neighbordhood, i'll be just another spic from the bronx

Love how you know that you need to look at the other opportunities in life and that you don't want to be just another random person from the Bronx. Great Poem!

I like that part where you ask yourself if you're a sell out for wanting to improve your life.

I I feel as though a lot of people in our black community may feel the same way. We're stuck between a arock and a hard place.

I love so much how this affects not only young people, or old people, or black people, or white people, because everyone can ask themselves this question. I thank you deeply this has helped me a lot, even if I was not your intended audience, and your other words seem wonderful. Thank you.
