I left my naivety back in the hood to explore the empathy in my heart. And deep in my soul I feel that I’m good somewhat smart, but don’t overplay that part. I’m humble, yet I’m kinda proud of me principled by the absolutes of truth. And I stay as far from hate as can be recalling the lessons learned in youth. I embrace fantasy, and like to dream yet fav reality's bittersweet wine. And there have been times I’ve wanted to scream but for the most part everything is fine. I’ve tried my best to stand by what I say opting for reason, I ignore the fool. And fought battles for friends that went away yet let them know I love them, and all’s cool. I work hard, but I’m a gambler at heart sometimes I’ve lost and had to start over. And overcame my fears with each fresh start by learning to let karma takeover. In touch with my beliefs I don’t hide them yet, I’m sensitive of others' feelings. And I don’t partake in fights or mayhem always staying clear of shady dealings. So, tell me Dad, is your son now a man? Oct.26, 2018 In response to IF.... Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Silent One

I loved this one, I can relate to some of this poem... However, I never really had a father, and I never wanted to live up to his ways... and it has made me the man I am today... Congratulations on your first place in the contest..

Thanks Silent One, like you I too never really had a father or at least one that loved me... and that too made me the man I am today my friend, Emile.

Great ideas, my friend. Good luck in the contest. This part really spoke to my own heart: "And there has been times I’ve wanted to scream but for the most part everything is fine." Because as an empathetic, caring soul, we sometimes do react rather quickly and impulsively, but when we take it all together we are so calm and placid and level thanks to having an outlet such as poetry-writing. Right?
