The New Me

Location

I write to take away the pain. 

To make sure all critics remember my name. 

To remove the sympathy and handouts and convert that to becoming  a standout.

To show my grandmothers that I am no longer that little boy.

You know? The one who used to sit in the corner and play with his toys.

Had a hard time controlling my anger and saw my anger as a must

Would stare in the face of danger even if I knew it was dangerous

Now I'm the guy that all corporations seek to employ.

I write so you have to feel me all the time.

I write to send chills down your spine.

I write to smile.

Becaue until I started writing, the truth is I probably hadn't smiled in awhile

The proof is that my life was similar to that of Moses in the Nile.

Up in the air, no guarantee of nice day.

Nothing that paves the path of wrong or right.

So not only do I write, writing is what saved my life.
