why not to change

Thu, 02/04/2016 - 10:03 -- muns14

What if i told you that i would change nothing

not to be rich

and not to get ripped

i wish i could change something but that is something that needs to be made

not changed

even if it is a bad metaphor,

i will say it need to be like a reign

not by fear but by change

a change do by yourself

i will not like anything handed to me

which is why i need to get smart

and i do not mean street smart cause i got that already

i do not want to change my past

i was happy to grow poor

i was happy to know my parents meant more

than just a person to bring home food

but they were there to make sure i wasn’t part of a gang

so to my parents and from what i was taught

never have we calvarin been given something without working for it,  

unless it’s our kids.

And to be proud of the mistakes you have made.
