thug life
thug days die hard
I can still feel her
little blue eyed chola
walking round the block
checkin out those cholo boys
low riding Kings Canyon
blasted out on pcp
will I ever be a lady of refinement?
naw I don't think so
I still listen to the old music
mix it up with some Chopin
my taste is eclectic
I like what I like
I started out upper middle class
somehow I didn't feel I was a fit
with the snobs and the finer things
I loved the smell, the feel of books
but I longed for adventure
some soash boy
with his fumbling hands didn't appeal to me
white bread society had no flavor
I wanted the richness of life in all its diversity
my parents divorced
I moved to the barrio
damn it those latin boys made me weak
they were men before they were fourteen
living life hard has a way of growing you up
they didn't live off daddy's tit
life lessons I'll never forget
they are a part of who I am
thug hard let's ride...

thank you graciously dearest Prometheus it either makes you stronger or it breaks you... as I've gotten older I've learned to see beauty in diverse places... this is where my life's path led me at one time...now it leads elsewhere but they will forever be in my heart...

There are so many facets to your being. Each poem you pen and share opens a window into another little piece of your life and where you've been. So much strength in your words, lovely Raven. I love you...
...ever your Willow

Gritty, and powerful, Crimmy.
Great vision of life's struggles.
No matter how you grew up, though, you've got an aristocratically beautiful heart.
Love,
Matthew.

I feel I got to know you a little better, Brenda. You've gone through a whirlwind of changes, and become a dynamo of the written word. Thank you for another glimpse into your past.

Like you, I regret nothing. We've lived and had our choices. Good or bad, they've made us who we are. I truly believe that what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. You and I are still alive and battling, like so many other brothers and sisters here. Let's continue our journey sweet one. J

Always true to form. And rejecting the norm. I always enjoy the "thug" meditations.
