Who I Am

They ask who I am so I think I will give it a whirl I am a father to my sons and a very special little girl I Work harder than most men with such precision I write poetry that portrays my opinionated vision I hold the door open for all who follow I rise when I fall no matter how hard to swallow I speak with confidence I believe in me I strive for success and being all I can be I raise my children with the methods of my Mother I love my Sister and I miss my little brother I struggle to smile, some days are easier to accept I have the personality that no one can forget I tell good jokes I make people truly enjoy I sometimes cry and my smile's a decoy I have been through more than the average man Never break the law or ended up in the can I took care of the less fortunate for 5 yrs strong Then fell into depression because they were treated so wrong I don't need lots of money to have a good time I seem to be hitting what they refer to as my prime I lost some loved ones because I could not Heal Just wish they considered how depression made me feel I was treated as if I wanted what took place I remember feeling like a failure a total disgrace I have come a long way from where I was stuck I understand now I don't need good luck I wish that someday I could help promote change I have So much to offer yet too much to arrange So I write about change in lines of poetic verses Because poetry helped me escape the constant curses I will end this poem on the upmost powerful note be respectful Promote love, teach your children, believe in yourself and you will stay afloat
