from nothing to somethingA 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" © 2014 I am renee |
