Love and pain is all know!

Love is pain was all I was shown.

I rode The night horror train. 

Was something like a picnic on Elm St was all I gained.

Left me scared for life

Or scared for many nights.

  Secluded on a island of deep depression.

But why on this ominous island I learn a bittersweet taste of a lesson

 Nothing like your first time..

No training that year but I caught the round year flu...

With anxiety, sweats sleepless nights, and temps above the imagineable ..
Knocked me down like a title with fight THE GREAT Mike Tyson ,

She Had me Tap danicing like I was one of the Jacksons..

As the story goes on..

I begin to prolong, the feeling of

Going through the motion as a Cali-surfer.

Beauty had me green and flipping like the TMNT(Ninja)Turtles.

Lost in abysss of terror.

I don’t want to be alone or have to settle for less.

But what I encounter.

I thought my foundation was sturdier than effiel tower

But got lost looking at the moon while left traveling on a mountain...

Look time flies and im no longer sipping from the youth Fountain

I grew up in what I call the (hood). I saw the need of positive role models needed for the young men and women.I always thought my vision was bigger than the big picture. I see how some kids are mia understood cause that's all the know is the street life. I'M the first Black Engineer in my family and proud of it.My goal is to help where needed
