Moral Of The Story

What makes people special? I've often felt different, not better, just different than other people. I'm just a nigerian american kid that grew up bouncing between the south side and midtown area's of Kansas City. I was sometimes a genius, sometimes a delinquent, a loving brother, and sometimes bad son. I went to school at a boy's home and was in the military by the age of 16. I started writing and quickly fell in love with poetry which led to a short career as a spoken word artist. For as long as I can remember one of the few times I'm happy is when I can grab a pen and pad and get lost in a new story or lyric. I became a songwriter when I realized if I could learn to add melody to my poetry I could reach accomplish my dreams of success. I now live in Los Angeles and am working hard to make my mark in the music industry. I think stories heal and since lyricism went on vacation, I wanna help bring back the healing power of stories in music. Even though I'm just getting started the voyage already feels unreal. People I used to watch on tv I'm now friends with or work with. Along with this excitement comes an incredible amount of pressure, it's not everyday you get to realize your fantasy.
