Poetry Corner: Letters To A Young Brotha

This mind state is not your permanent place,

One day you’ll rise above the rat race,

Face your fears move forward,

Stop living life eyes locked and concentrated in the rear.

Things are sometimes complicated, overwhelming and hard to digest and understand,

Just remain entrenched with belief,

Take a step back and breathe,

You have creator given ability.

You have to step up and be that man forced to grow without a father’s helping hand,

Just a mother to hold, hug, kiss, love, and wipe your tears.

Don’t be so weak you can’t that in the face you can’t admit defeat,

The strongest thing a man can do is cry and show vulnerability.
