Wrote this poem a couple years ago and it's probably the closest to my heart.  My mother insisted that I share it, so with every closing of my little messages, I hope you guys enjoy it. 

I Grew Up... (Poem  Recite)

Sorry for the bad audio I recorded the video on my computer, and you can watch that video on youtube. 
First poem I ever put out there.

Self - Conscious

I play make believe for a living. I love writing, just as much as I love telling or reciting what I write.  
What I've learned throughout the years is that you give respect you gain respect. S/O to my dad for teaching me that.
