POETRY ABOUT MY LIFE - PART 1

MY LIFE (LOOK AT ME NOW) - PART 1!!!!!

Sometimes I look into my life and wonder why God even made me

When my mother was pregnant with me, nobody believed she could have a baby

Born to a man who was engaged and involved with another lady

Don't ask me how it happened, its just the thoughts of my mind lately

I used to sleep between my grandma and my mother in the same bed

I felt all the love in the world because before I went to sleep I got so much kisses on my forehead

Woke up to the same treatment, love, hot tea and some buttered bread

Didn't know or cared about the fancy life, I was just glad that I wasn't dead

Grew up in the garrisons of Jamaica, it never affected me but I learned a lot

I was book and street smart but I'll never forget three of us sleeping on one cot

If it was the last they had best believe that my mom and grandma gave me all that they got

There were days I loved playing in the streets and some days I dodged a few gunshots

My mom would spend her last dime to send me to school because it wasn't free

I loved to spell, I was my school champion but got suspended and missed the national spelling bee

From there I knew I was destined to be great but I also knew something was wrong with me

Always knew how success felt but worse, I knew how it felt to lose painfully

Skipped the sixth grade and was regarded as a genius in my community

Laughed at all the girls who failed their exams because it wasn't new to me

Its funny how those same girls are still my friends, you can say their true to me

So sad that because I laughed at them in the past, in the future they said I'd never get to see their nudity

Anyways life in Jamaica made me the man that I am today

The pitfalls, the hardships made me know their had to be a better way

I knew it wouldn't come easy but the values I was thought never went away

Look at me now, I've traveled on the wrong roads, but I've finally got the right away

You might not have gone through what I went through but I know you can relate

We all look back at our lives and see that different things helped mold our present state

Growing up how I did I never imagined things like owning an estate

I just wanted to be happy and wanted my mommy to feel great
