Here’s the opening poem to Soula Coaster: The Diary of Me (apologies that I have been incorrectly referring to the title as the STORY of me. I am so ashamed.)
Look behind myself as I reflect on all the memories
Good times they come and go
Lost everything from friends to family
If I could turn back the hands
There would be some things I’d change about me
I know my past is not what my future holds
Where I come from who could
believe all the pain and misery
Look in my eyes and you will see…
The diary of me
Rewind my life, just go back and correct all the wrong
And ask God to direct my path so then I could make it home
Years ago a child was born and raised without a man
My mom was scorned but still reached out her hand
Just open the book, turn the pages of my life
and you will read
A true story about one man’s journey…
The diary of me
I mean… just… just wow, Kells. I really for once in my life have been struck dumb. I believe I just WILL turn the pages of your life. I really can’t wait until you deal with that whole urinating on a preteen thing. That’s what I’m assuming you’re referring to when you say there would be some things you’d change, correct?
