from nothing to something

from nothing to something

A Poem by I am renee

My story in Bronx , new york
I was living in poverty
My family and I went to churches for food
And getting clothes from strangers for me and my sister "it was rough I can't lie"
Lights went out
And we went to shelters where the doors didn't lock
"rats were coming through windows"
By the time I was six I was charged with gun possession
I moved to Virginia but honestly I didn't care for it
So I moved back to the Bronx
Because I wanted to something and have a better life then the one I was living in from the start
"girls and guys joked on me because i wasn't as known as them"
Nothing brought me down
"I didn't have the best clothes"
But it was something that could keep me warm
The day I became something is when I started to rap about my true feelings
"life wasn't easy"
I started acting different around people because I wanted to be focused on myself instead of worrying about a n***a who doesn't like me
"to me I feel like I'm not myself"
I changed myself but I see now a days that it wasn't worth the struggle
I lost friends because I grew up and lost a part of me that I didn't care for
But I'm still me in a sense that nobody but myself can understand "I'm just being me"
