The Man Who Made Me Who I Am


I am a bastored child. One Who's spirit is broken, while His imagination runs wild. I do not know my father, he is a stranger who never seemed to bother. I have no knowledge of the character of the man that he is, I just know of the bastored child that is his. I don't know if I make him proud. So I let my heart and emotion speak loud. I try to look past the gloomy cloud and continue to keep my views on my father without a sound. Am I the same as him. I can't keep my mind from wondering, or stop myself from observing everything I lost from not knowing him. But as I ponder upon these thoughts I wonder to what cost did he pay. When he can't see me since he went astray and made me the man I am today.

I have been writing poetry since age 5 where I first learn to turn my pain into a beautiful art work that could speak more words then anything I could ever speak. I am passionate about writing because in writing I found the voice which had been hidden for so long.
