Never Too Late for Change
By Marquez Clark
Growing up, watching drug dealers,
Dope fiends, all my life,
So it was inevitable to become one.
I chose money, cars and clothes.
When you’re young watching those things,
You choose a path either long or short.
You don’t know where you’ll end up.
You can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel,
Or the house y0u’ll be living in.
You only see the day-to-day struggle.
Growing up seeing family and friend
Moving on, going to work
To make something of themselves.
Others smoking and stealing things.
You never know where life will take you.
Some may say change is too late…
But that’s only because you don’t want to
Or are afraid of change.
Don’t be…it’s never too late.
Being locked up for these things
Have changed me and opened my
Eyes to new life.
I have school, I have work,
And I’ll be released to a changed life,
As well as mind.
It may take some time,
But never feel it’s too late
To change.
