Another year rolls
around.
Another step into the world,
out
there it is,
there it stays.
In front of me,
and I think;
What to do, what’s anew?
I could step into the downpour
and let the rain
fall down on me.
But I sit at home
Lay down
and let my mind wander.
What to do, what’s anew?
A million empty promises
I won’t see through.

10 Facts About Myself
1. I was born January 5th,
I guess that makes me a Capricorn…
whatever.
2. My name is Xxavier.
Spelled with two X’s.
I know that it is a cool way to spell it.
It’s the coolest thing my dad ever gave me.
In fact,
It’s the only thing my dad ever gave me.
3. I learned how to take
compliments
the same way I learned to ride a bike.
I don’t know how to ride a bike.
4. At times I find it hard to control my voice.
Some days,
its a loaded M-16 pointed towards enemy lines
Just waiting to fire.
Other days,
The gun jams,
and I can no longer find the ammunition.
5. My hobbies include
Hiding behind metaphors and rhythms
And trying to survive in a world
Where everyone appears to be living just fine.
6. I believe that there are two types of people.
Those who believe that Spider-Man 3
was the best movie in the trilogy,
and those who are wrong.
7. I like Oreos…A lot.
We actually have a lot in common.
Most people enjoy the taste of our white parts
Over our black ones.
8. I come from cigarette **** filled hallways
In ward 8 southeast DC.
From three piece chicken wing and fries
with the mumbo sauce on top
cuz we ain’t never scared to get our hands a lil *****
9. I have written countless drafts
of this poem over the span of a year.
All of which
are incomplete.
Because
I still haven’t figured out
who I really am.
