Throughout our lives we often are never sure where things are going to go! we hope they go left and go right and other times we beg for them to go right but they turn left. this post will explain some of the things that happened in my life that didn't work out the way I wanted to but like everything else in life their is a silver lining. through it all, the good experiences and the bad ones I learned something new about myself that I only have those experiences to thank.
I hope this isn't cliché but my first real break-up was the worst. Depressed, sad, eating everything. I wasn't sure how I was going to make it. Thank God for him and family; my mom was always there and I swore I would never get past it and she told me that decades ago when it was her she felt the same way... that eased the pain. But I am happy to say with support and prayer I over came it like all other obstacles. I learned then that your mother is truly your best friend and nothing brings a girl closer to her mom than a broken heart and tears.
A moment in my life where I had the hugest epiphany and decide what direction I wanted my future to go in , was when I was in my World History Class in the tenth grade. I was so amazed with the colonization of Africa and how it became this melting pot of language and cultures. Understanding how European culture merged with African culture to create some of the most prominent languages and cultural diversity astounded me and still does. it was then that I decided that I was to learn all about cultures and how they were made, where they come from and why they are the way they are. it was later in life I discovered that Anthropologist study that and more; so that is where I want to be.
You know how everyone is a good singer when they are in the shower? or in the confinement of their own home? that's me! A power that I have that I'm still determining is singing. I always sang and dance as a child, fearing nothing and never timid. I dance to this dance and I am confident in it all the way but singing? When it comes to singing only four people to this day have heard me...on purpose. I have been told I have a nice voice and I sing well, but I am still skeptical. I am just hoping one day, sooner than later that the power of singing will empower me!
Worst Job Ever!!
I knew it was whack pay never in stacks
pre teen hours boss sleep in the back
never had a chance, that car is gone
guess I'll be forever mowing the lawn
the house the shoes and clothes and the car
vendetta and Gucci and coach bazar
25 a hour where they do that at?
can you send the memo to the boss in the back
guess I'll be sweeping, cleaning and all
just till I get the money so we really can ball
can't take the crappy pay for those extra hours
40 to 10 yeah your the liar
but I'm not lyin and I'm not playin
the must be real crazy if they think I'm staying
the smock, the hat, the tag you keep it
cuz with me gone somebody will need it
early in the morning to late at night
cut down on the parties and hot summa nights
you say your top notch and debonair
got a petition of those who declare
that this is a fraud and your fraud master
mastering what? when we're running faster
out of this establishment and out of your face
you chasin me you chasin me you chasin me fast
you chasin me you chasin me, I'm chasin this cash!
Bianca,
ReplyDeleteWow - this poem/flow/rhyme is amazing! Great work!
This is really great stuff. I will "share it with the class" great.
There's a lot of emotion in it, which is very important in hip hop. Rebelliousness is key. It grabs peoples attention. I couldn't take my eyes off the poem as I kept reading.
Your journal is good, too, but some of the stories seem rushed and familiar. Try to write more. Expand. Let it flow, just like your poem, and see where it goes.
Try to think about all things and how they've impacted you.
For instance, the breakup story is good, but I'd like to see more details. How did you meet? Why did he break it off? What did you mother say or do to comfort you?
Life is in these little details. Fill your writing with them.
Lastly, you have really cool images, but they're all squished together. Try to space some out. Keep one at the top, and place the others around.
Keep up the good work. Keep pushing it further each week to keep the grades up!
