I'm really feeling this. I know some ppl that should really absorb all of the positivity from this write. how can anyone hate on this? 10stz easy!

I love this poem. I was kinda sorta in this situation. I had some ghetto friends who couldn't let go of the hood and still wanted me to be a participant. I wanted something diffrent..so i walked from them..no my life is diffrent and live is gravy....3 snaps in the air for this one.

this is powerful and, unfortunately, so true. like lyfe jennings said."..people get stuck at the bottom and decide to stay there" thank God everyone doesnt think that way. we are supposed to want better...excellent piece, poet.
