I AM NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER PERSON IN CAMDEN. I WAS BORN HERE RAISED HERE AND I AM STILL HERE. YESTERDAY I WAS CAKING IT UP. YESTERDAY I WAS LIVING IT UP. YESTERDAY I KEPT RENTALS..MORRIS STREET WAS MY HOME, EUTAW WAS MY HOME AND WHILE ON BARING STREET I WAS IN MY ZONE. YESTERDAY I HAD LOTS OF MONEY. TODAY I AM BROKE. YESTERDAY I WAS EMPLOYED, TODAY I STRUGGLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET. I CANNOT TELL YOU THE COUNTLESS DAYS I WOULD PUT IT UP IN THE AIR OR POUR IT OUT FOR MY LOST ONES. SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME AND I STRUGGLE EVERYDAY TO MAKE SENSE OF THIS LIFE I AM LEADING NOW. I ACCEPTED IT BUT NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT. I WAS ANGRY AT GOD WHEN I LOST MY LEGS. I COULDNT WASH MYSELF, GO TO THE BATHROOM WITHOUT HELP, HELL I COULDNT EVEN TALK. I BEGGED FOR MOBILITY, BEGGED FOR A SECOND CHANCE THAT I WOULD DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH MY LIFE. THE HELL FIRES WERE SCREAMING MY NAME BUT SOMEBODY WAS PRAYING FOR ME. I SAY ALL OF THIS TO SAY TO ALL OF YOU IN CAMDEN: YOU NEVER EVER KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU TRUST AND SUBMIT. I AM NOT PERFECT TODAY BUT I HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHO I AM AND WHAT I AM TO DO. IF I WERE TO LEAVE THIS EARTH TODAY OR TOMORROW I PRAY THAT WHEN I STAND BEFORE MY MAKER THAT ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SENT THOSE PRAYERS UP TO HIM FOR ME THAT I STAND A CHANCE AND THAT MY GOOD OUTWEIGHS MY BAD TO HAVE A SURE SHOT AT THE PEARLY GATES. I SPEAK TO ALL OF YOU NOT FOR YOUR LIKES, BUT FOR YOU TO SEE AS WELL AND HAVE UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR OWN TRUE EXISTENCE. PLANT YOUR FEET IN GROUNDED SOIL. IT IS THEN THAT YOU TOO SPROUT.
