Life Thoughts

A Poem by Ibrido

Just some early morning writing while I was reflecting

young boy with man dreams.
young man with boy screams.
black man with white seams.
white man with black themes.

conflicted with identity, lacking clarity.
a father statistically is a rarity,
yet I somehow lost three.
felt like I gave my love for free,
like oxygen from a tree.

figuring out life with a broken bank,
selecting college over driving a tank.
grinding for grades that don't stank,
so a job can give me a new bank.
