MyseCf
Sometimes IfeeC as if though my Cife were just a dream.
Tori couCdfeeC that I'm on top of the worCdand the
ne%t instant, I'm in heCCor so it seems. Many times I
pray to wa^e up from the nightmare of living trife. You
couCd pinch me a miCCion times and I won't wafefor I'm
already awafe, this is my Cife. I may do things to hurt
people or myseCf for that matter, 6ut it seems Cife when I
try to change and 6etter myseCf every rung 6reafe on my
opportunity [adder. So it's 6ac&o the hood with my
6oys in the hood who are up to no good and wouCd ro6 if
they couCd, get away with it. Now these are the people
doing favors for the deviC, and it's messed up, these are
the cats I caCCfriends. Tor they're the only ones who
understand my CeveC. Shame on me, this is what I
Cowered myseCf to. So can I reaCCy ^rioc ^societyfor

American male and the onCy sfeCC I decide to use is
mathematics to count profit from cracks aCes. I must
open doors for myseCf, I mean I do have a %ey, yet I'm
standing in the rain hoping someone wiCC open it for me.
(But now I've opened my eyes, am I not a man? I can do
