9"God I'm Gone Make You Proud of Me" is the title of this book because that's what I used to pray at night before I got hit by a car and knocked forty feet down the street. I was in a coma for three weeks in I.C.U, breathing on a ventilator and I also had head trauma. When I came to I was badly bruised, the skin was off my face and I had to learn how to walk again. I came home I was in a wheelchair the doctors said my legs wasn>t going to bend again but they do and all of my memory came back too. I could remember everything before and after I got hit but I just can>t remember the accident. The poems "He Has Always Been There" and "Time Will Tell", I wrote them in middle school, during that time I wanted to be a rapper because I knew God had blessed me with a gift.So when I feel some type of way I write. "Don't Pity Me" and "Don't Complain" I wrote some years later. I have written raps and other poems also but some of them wasn't appropiate for this book of poetry.
