After reading his book, Tupac has inspired me to write poetry. No one understood his
heart very well but GOD. GOD is the only one that understood his emotions and the
care he had for his people. Through his poetry, you can sense the emotion he had for
women, his mother, and for the people that struggled to have their voices be heard. Some
people may view him as just an legendary rapper, but it was bigger than just rap
music. His gifts were a way of life for people to understand that they are not alone
based on what they are going through. It’s to show that everything will get
better if
we stick together and stay strong.
Tupac poetry and music had inspired me to write about what goes on in our daily
world, ways to make changes, or the things we feel in our daily lives. There are times, I
feel like a young Tupac. A young black man that truly sees the reality of what life
really is and how it can shatter you daily without even seeing what makes you cry.
There’s never a moment, when I feel that it’s me against the world. Having people to
show fake love, as if you were blind to see their true reality, facing the price of having
trust in many people, and to feel like your the only one that you can depend on. Just
like a father and son relationship. I view Tupac as a fatherhood figure in my life,
based on the things we both can relate in many ways, trying to survive in life.
Lastly, to continue his legacy that he left for us, as what a son will do for his father.
