Time and time again - I realize that ---I am not supposed to realize I am black.
I am not supposed to realize that. If I could be anything in the World, I would choose to be me. Self. MJ.The World seems too far ahead of the race when the race is not given to the swift nor the fast - but the one that endureth until the end.
I can not stomach the Art my talent sometimes because it is over-stood. I can not take the world around me and shuffle it like a deck of card. But the hand I am dealt is the deck that was shuffled without my input. I know what the life I live means. I know that standing alone means - standing beside no one.
Do you feel what I feel?
Do I see what you see?
Can you envision me on a stage?
I speak to convey a message. I write to do the same. I am a kid from the bottom of the Earth doing whatever is neccessary to escape the drug dealing life. I am taking what the world has not allowed me and have and putting it into what matters most.
Do you see what I am speaking of? I am speaking from those projects that offer death for a cost. I am speaking of those one bedroom apartments that house three-four families at a time. I am speaking from a shelter home experience. I am writing from a Journalist perspective.
I did not learn to read and write until College. I used making people laugh as a sceme to get me through high school and beyond. I used my charm to elevate the minds of people who may have thought I was some knuckle headed black child with no respect.
Honestly, it is me against the world. How would you survive in a world where it is just you? How would you survive in a World that is just you? I am living that life everyday. When I am past away --- pictures of my journey will explode the internet scene. Every person in the world I have ever meet will cry. Why? Because I have made it my point of interest to connect with every single being I come across. Life is about choice and certain choices lead us down certain roads. I am living this journey as if tomorrow was today. I am living a Dream only a fool would chase. I am living the life I see before me because I hope for the best of tomorrow and plan for it today. I am Michael MJ Hustla Johnson and this is my society. This is the world around me. This is the reason I write me against the world.
