My Mark

By MB

I’ll be a businessman who is down for the struggle
I’ll be taking care of my family
Even though I grew up
In one of the roughest neighborhood in NE DC
I’ll help friends out with jobs
I’ll own an electrician company
I’ll be quiet and laid back
I’ll love to drive fancy cars
I’ll be the one who was a menace to society
I’ll be the one who never again gets caught up with police
I’ll be the one who stays fresh and loves the females
I’ll be the one who leaves a mark

    This is realy a motavating poem. I like the fact that you you embrace the struggle, but also want to rise above it. Life is about progress and your showing that you’ve matured from being locked up, and your ready to make moves towards being a better you.
