Poem: "Too see me'' Remix "Too be my homie"

Too be my homie
Does not
Necessary
Mean to
Just kick it
with me
But to be their
When i need you
The most
Through think
And thin
That is being
A day one homie
Tell death

poems never surrender

Death is not the
Greatest loss in life
The greatest loss is
What dies inside while
 Still alive
 Never Surrender


To see me
Does not
Necessary
Mean to
See my face.
To understand
My thoughts
Is to have
Seen me




I picked both of these poems because they speak the truth and I really like how they are written and what they are about and what they represent.

My reason for taking this course is to learn more about American lit and more about poetry. I can just learn more about English and everything in class. I am excited and nervous about messing up, getting in trouble and not getting good grades this year. I am excited for senior year and football season and just to get out early everyday. My goal for this course this year is to pass your class and to get to know you more as a person and get like a B+ or better and try to make your class easy as possible. I expect to get a lot smarter in English and poetry because I think it would be very cool to know poetry and some of your music because it looks like got a good taste in music and I would like to know more about it.
