Now my life is vast in detail
Let me start at the beginning being a story narrated in sail
Growing up I was told that I would fail
In fact being born I was quite frail
So the beginning of my life at birth being uncertain
For me inspiration was only a word having no definition
My life was hoping for precision
The only presence was my own voice
I had no choice
But my words were direct like preach
I guess there was influence I wanted to teach
As I grew older I began to understand
But now I was an Adult Man
Thinking responsively
Taking life serious honestly
As I said earlier, I told you I was to fail
But follow me in the next trail
I knew deep in my heart I wanted to achieve
It would be Higher Education that I would receive
So I enrolled in college in meeting my goals
Behold, I majored in Mass Communications from CUNY, and graduated with a 3.0 GPA
Sounds bad for others who wanted me to fail
Perhaps the whole theory people considered themselves less of themselves
I guess they wanted me to be like them
But inspiration rang in and ability within keep striving on
I wanted the best things in life
I wasn’t expecting sugar and spice
I just wanted my life to be peaceful and nice
As my Grandfather would often encourage, “Be a Commodity”
Well that’s truth in reality
So I am living life in what it should be
Salvation made it all possible and people do see
Yet it is my daily prayers between me and thee
Church is my regular outlet that God can help anyone overcome
I am glad I have Faith from within being the Lord’s among
So there’s my life cut and dry
You see I haven’t asked any questions as of why
But my Grandfather was right, “Just Try”
There’s my life in efforts in gain, and continued living that shall remain.
