Just So You Know


Who am I? But a guy with dark skin and brown eyes.

For the world may see me as a minority who does drugs and other crimes, but the world does not make me, nor will I ever conform to its stereotypes.

I made a pledge to myself when I was five that I would be a man one day, although I never had my father by my side.

See when I was five I told myself that no one would recreate me. By that I meant no one could make me be something I wasn't. You see I wasn't the type to play with the minds, of the beautiful girls, whom might of played with mine. Too much of a nice guy, it's who I've always been.

The type of guy to listen to your thoughts and concerns and geniuely tuned in.

The type of guy to miss you when your gone. Held you when you were here. Love you when no one else would and always kept it real. That's just the guy I am.

I like to watch movies, I hate wearing pants, I like girls with big butts, and I really love to dance. I also love to laugh and make those around me happy.

I wish we could learn to laugh at ourselves because it would help us to accept our imperfections. Our imperfections are part of who we are, when you accept them?

Who can hurt you?

No one, that's who because the only opinion that matters is on how you see you. So see yourself and not how others see you. Be true to who you are and follow through with what you say you will do, because you can't please everybody, and everybody can't be pleased. I'm Brandon St. Germain in this is a little part of me.

Never judge a book by its cover it's looks can deceive. If you really want to know it's worth, just pick it up, then open up its pages, and read.
