My life was filled with crimes and fines,
Only salvation lied within a gang,
Tough times told within his lines,
All ended with a big bang,
Never to speak again,
Knew he had to get out,
Heart racing like a car on E.S.P.N,
Head filled with doubt,
What have I become,
My Parents never contact me,
To them I’m just some other bum,
I wish they could just see,
I’m going to change just you wait,
Soon I’ll be known as Alexander the Great.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
