I take a look at myself
Flashback a raging fire that occured
I take a hand to my face
With the blood I can't seem to erase
Only then I knew that someone threw a brick at my face
I take a look at myself
Now I know it was all a dream
I started my own book of poems based on my life and "Welcome To My World" is its title. It's a work in progress so I hope anyone who reads it likes it and let me know what they think.
Strange,
That in this nigger place,
I should meet Life face to face
When for years, I had been seeking
Life in places gentler speaking
Until I came to this near street
And found Life--stepping on my feet!
-Langston Hughes
