I was born in 2007.

Born to a father I never knew.

To a mother who never bloomed.

With a sister who never knew.

With a grandparent, 5 feet under, 9 hours away.

In a great power, mentally stewed.

In streets of crack and cracks.

In a street of pain and blood.

In a city of malice and cash.

With a cut from a slash.

From a mother with a lash.

To my sister, self minded.

To my city, self-destructive

To my state, self-mundane

To my nation, self-insane

To my world, self-melancholic

I lived, a whirlpool.

I lived the maps of others.

I breathed someone’s signature.

I breathed others ‘ ideals.

I thought, no restraint.

I thought, with emotion

I stabbed, with relief

I stabbed, with liberation

I lost, what I’m owed

I lost, my own sanity

I love myself, I hate myself.

I love that I never wake up, I love the carelessness I have.

I hate my mother, I hate my father

I love my father, I love my mother.

I love for a quota, I hate for representation

Never I wish to live, anyway I lived.

traded from a continent of my race

I slashed, stashed, and dashed.

As a man, no care in sight.

My branding number: 11022007

I lived at home, my father afar.

I went to school, my life gone

I cried my eyes, my sister gone.

I went to bed, dead inside

I live in the streets, with ecstasy.

I had a smile, it fades away

I had a father, I have his blood.

I have a mother, A desk and chair

I have a sister, with the pearl gates.

I was left, a forsaken home.

No help in sight.

I fell to the ground.

No EMS in sight.

A maelstrom above.

No dinner in sight.

I see the gates.

No hell in sight.

Thank you for my food,

I’ll always love you mom,

goodnight.
