I never smoked or drank but I was fuqed up cause my mom tried her best to mess me up, even though I was quiet at home and aced my school work. Shout out to Covenant House, Turning Point, Project Create, St. Agatha and everybody kicked out on the streets, struggling to make it in this effed up life. Do not turn to crime. I made it and you can too. Shout out to my brother Big R., Donna C., Latasha, Tarneka and Alloyma Mados.

"And it don't make sense all the shit is intense and you got up in your pockets is lint. You get the hint? Cigarrettes for breakfast, just for beginners. Pride for my lunch and sleep was for dinner." i had that life for a time. It's no joke. Once when i was homeless in NY, i was on the "M" train and saw a 10 dollar bill dangling out of a man's back pocket. i was hungry and seriously thinking of snatching it. Thankfully, i didn't, and a good samaritan made the man aware before i could do something i would've regretted.
