Tupac

Blog 3 Tupac

It is admirable that Tupac found his way towards creative expression away from gangs though he died so tragically. Death effects teens greatly as I have seen in the mortuary field. I am not a big fan of spelling reform aka Dewey though I enjoyed his poetry and how he spoke of love and broken relationships. He took many difficult issues and expressed them with a simple style. His poem on his demise is so very powerful and resonates truths today. He did not die in vain and his words will undoubtedly live on for such a long time.

His poetry and passing makes me take stock of my own life. There was a time I thought I was going to die for a cause at an early age. However, the issues past and though they made me weaker, in the end they made me much stronger. Tupac’s words help me to be a stronger person and to face adversity in a better manner. For we all die some day. If he didn’t write he would probably be another statistic and make music. It goes to show that what we leave behind really matters. If I am fortunate to have a teenager someday I will introduce him to Tupac’s writings and his words of love, heartache, chaos and survival. Tupac showed that we are not only on this earth to survive but to touch the lives of others in some way ,for example, his written word poetry and music.

His poetry makes me look at past relationships I have had and how I have reacted. Some are painful and I just keep burying the memories.I cannot take a difficult relationship and spin the heartache into words as Tupac did. My friend tells me old girldfriends are someone else’s problems and that is how I try to look at things sometimes when I cannot put down the words as Tupac so eloquently did.
