Realizing What’s Real

    - Valid

    I am afraid,

    of leaving this life scarred and scathed.

    How boring, bizarre and safe.

    I need to start emboldening the brave.

    I am ashamed

    to be named

    Tartaglia and behave as I do.

    When’s the overall purpose ‘spose to guide you?

    I must continue to give you a clue.

    I have secrets and here is the truth:

    italian roots makes me think you’re a mook.

    Perfecting my poetry; this flow is no fluke.

    V-Money makes Valid look funny

    High school talking getting every honey

    This is a letter from me

    To you before I bid adieu.

    Into a life renewed.
