Scene : Brooklyn Bridge august super hot day our protganist is is making the long hot walk to waste another 5bhours to be drilled up and down by the miserable perto rican bully asking me for the 100th time why I cant just get a year lease on an apartment now imagine i used to buy penthouse apartmentys and mansions for cash and the truth is I had money so i never needed credit i tried many many times

cut ti scene our hero trying to rent a shit basement apartment this place looks worse rthen a the hole or the shoe what ever you want ti call it they threatend to throw me in the hole a few times but when i woukld give them my standard answer do you think i give a fuck about the hole

it will be no different i dont ant to be in either place so  i am used to this emotion but i have one question Guard trying to act intimidating is it quiet there because if io dont have to listen ti these fucking retards say man if i ever get out of here im going to throw a baby up in that bitch ill take it.

so i just paid my rent in a hotel for the week which cost me 1750 for the week that left me with 20 i know what you are thinking why was i living in the most expensive city in the world when i just got out of prison and i was getting the shit beat out pf me on a regular basis the answer and brace yourself simple i was not allowed to live anywhre else

so im walking the long hot wa;k to probation broke lonely hurt ann sad looking back looking forward making every mistake my mind heart and soul learme while in prison because my broken heart was ruling all my thought sand just as napoleo hill wrote about in

that nasty negative devil had my ass inside out but there in the deep i still had hope faith and belief i sat on the bench tears poring down my face across from that really cool clock and there it was i looked up and the cutest little boy had to be maybe 4-5 years old was looking at me a good boy with very soulful eyes i lock eyes then later drop my seight down to see a single word on his shirt.

that word

BELIEVE

then like lighting crashing the memory bank of 100's of words lines and passages from the 9800 books i read in prison ran through me

one by Seneca


“The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.”

― Seneca


then it was a scene i remebered from rocky where mick is telling rocky get up get up you bum because mickey loves you


god was that little boy
