Shahana Jackson Poet I do not know?

Thug On My Shoulders

Maybe I need some thugs in my life.
     too hold me down when i'm feeling
     sad. Maybe I need a thug on my shoulders.
     A place to go when I ain't got noone, he's
     always there even though he make his money
     illegally he still respects me and promises
     that he will protect me. He will raise his voice
     when he is mad but a thug never touched me with his
     hands. I love him for being my only, the guy I can
     talk to when nobody's holding me. I can run to him
     in the mist of it all and know that regarless he will
     except my life. I know he understands becauses he's used
     to the stuggle, living life on the edge but still trying
     to get into college. I love that about him a driven man
     who knows what he wants. I have a thug on my sholders and
     I ain't never giving him up. We may argue from time to time
     and I may not speak to him for months but when he returns 
     it's like he never left. I don't know what I would do without
     him. He cheated a couple of times but I still can't cut him out
     of the box. He is special and even though my girl friends say
     he's no good I don't hear them. He may have 20 girls on the side
     but my name is the one that is tattoed on his arms. He never lets
     me leave the house without being flyy, spends the money he works 
     hard for to give me shopping sprees and damn it he treats me good. 
     I have a thug on my shoulders and when I close my eyes and sleep
     at night he's all I need to get by.
