LOOK AT ME NOW

by B_Dillard

BROUGHT ME UP AND THE STREETS BROUGHT ME DOWN TURNT BACK UP AND FOUND THE LIGHT I FIND MYSELF ON THESE DREDDING ROADS TO RECOVERY AS I LAY MY HEAD DOWN TO SLEEP I PRAY FOR THESE STREETS TO BE SWEPT OF POVERTY A LAND FILLED OF WONDERS NO WHERE TO GO, SET IN A TRANCE PHASES TO REALITY STRUGGLES AND PAIN WE LONG FOR NO HOPE DOWN THESE ROADS OF FREEDOM BUT ALL WE HAVE IS FAITH AND TODAY I MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY SAYING TODAY I CHANGE!

I am of African American, Mexican, Spanish, Indian & Filipino Decent. Attend Heald College for Dental Assisting, graduating April of 2014. I have interest in poetry, I feel poetry is my way of expression with a little twist involved when writing.
