The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.
Today I received my final grades of the Spring semester. This is the first semester of my college career that I have been successful at overcoming a defect of character. TRUENCY. Ever since the first time I skipped class in the seventh grade, I have always had a problem with attendence. I snowballed into highschool missing at least one day a week. I spent weekends in detention and mornings in suspension. I was that kid, with all the potential in the world, wasting away in circumstance. My GPA aint so pretty but it will be. These grades are about more than just passing, they represent the power in my decision... I can do whatever I put my mind to. My Momma's throwin' me a Progress Hootinnany!!
Passing Time
Your skin like dawn
Mine like dusk.
One paints the beginning
of a certain end.
The other, the end of a
sure beginning.
