No Wannabes
No Wannabes
By Keenan J. Bitselley
(K.J.)
My friend Melvin always taught me
Not to be anyone
But yourself
Melvin is my buddy from CCS
Who taught me this lesson
He’s like Kaidon Begay
But loud as a coyote howling at the moon
And gets in trouble like a marble in rush hour
Sometimes serious like a Chihuahua
If it wasn’t for Melvin I would be lost
And Confused with myself
What I mean is that
I would be egotistical, crazy,
And being a kid
Who want to be a wanna be like
Justin Bieber or Maroon 5
With new brands and being cool
And be selfish to others and to myself
My buddy Melvin isn’t like that
Because he doesn’t hang out with the
POPLUAR KIDS
