Rating: 2.8


he gets hi to make his friends think hes cool
but all he end up doing is looking like a fool
he trys so hard to fit in with everyone else
but all he needs to do is focus on himself
he is in a gang that doesnt cares rather he lives or dies
if only the little boy could hear his mothers cries
he wants to be a basketball star, he wants to be the best
he is very smart he passes all his test
every test but the one he took on life
if he keeps this up he is going to pay the price
all he needs is a friend to help him out
don't worry lamont i will always be here; without a doubt
(this one is true i wrote it for my friend lamont)

A heart wrenching and sober look at someone who is wasting his life. Excellent poem, Tanesha!
