Caisey's poem, handwrittenI go to bed at night
I go to bed at night all I can hear are these
fights gun shots boom boom coming from
my homies glok can't be dreaming cause
these fools be constantly be screaming
I wait fo better days but at night it's all
a haze.

The Route I Chose!
The route I chose
Was long and hard
But it separated me
And the others apart

My route was long
Yes long indeed
But my devotion and dedication
Has finally set me free

It started back awhile
I was in my teens
11 or 12
No older than 13

Middle school it was
The time and place
Where I started out
With a smile on my face

I always paid attention
And kept good grades
I’m talking no C’s
But B’s and all A’s

Other kids didn’t understand me
Or the way that I spoke
They called me such names
As “geek and lol”

A lack of coolest I was
But I didn’t care
I didn’t name call back
And sure didn’t swear

Because if I cussed
There was trouble to be
But all that hating
Wasn’t any trouble to me

b/c look at me now
a man of success
some may say
“hey boy you are just blessed”

But they don’t understand
I always had this dream and goal
And that’s why I love
The route I chose!!
