I thought that the poem was very truthful and meaningful to the poet. His performance was heartfelt and can connect to alot of people. It can connect to me in a way. In the way that I hate being in trouble but I love the rush of it. Also getting away with something can addict a person to trouble. Almost getting in trouble but surviving to tell the story. This situation can creates memories for alot of people. I liked how the peom was basically his life story, and how it showed that trouble can have a large influence in someones life. Something that stood out to me was that after all the trouble he went through such as, getting kicked out of school, getting shot, selling drugs, he still kept on doing the bad things in life. He felt as if the life of a criminal brought something new to the table. Eveyday was unexpected, for all he knew he was making money and feeding his family. To me that showed courage and bravery, to keep living life no matter how bad it is. I think this is one of the messages in the poem. To continue your life no matter what its like, and to stay strong for your family. I think another message was that you should never underestimate trouble. Trouble can have great control over your life, and is a dangerous thing. I think that this is a poem because it has rhymes all throughout it and he pauses in his performance as if his poem had stanzas. His preformance creates an image in my head like a poem would. This is one of my favourite things about the poem. -Kajal
