2 paragraphs of my literacy narrative

Intro

I have been making poetry and music for as long as i remember. I was the kid in elementary school free-styling at the lunch table, i was the kid who enjoyed learning new words in English classes, one of the only kids who liked being assigned poetry homework or assignments or learning about poetry in class. I remember teachers telling the class we would focus on on poetry in the next class and everyone would get upset except me and when the time came to make our own poetry i remember everyone coming to me for help. It was not until middle school that i started taking my poetry and music seriously. That’s around the time i wrote and recorded a song for the first time. Since then I have only grew with my music but i can easily say the biggest step i have taken to date is when I performed on stage for the first time.

1st body

One summer night i was out on my way to get some food not far from my neighborhood and as im on my way to get that fresh, hot beef patty with cheese and pepperoni over cocao bread that i had been craving all day i see a rap artist who is famous in the underground rap scene that also grew up in the area posted up with a couple of his friends across the street from the pizzeria. I cross the street and greet him and tell him how i like his work he thanks me. I tell him i know its hard to gain traction in the music industry with the type of music he makes because lyrically profound pieces of work arent appreciated today like they once were. He agrees and asks if i make music because he picked up on my passion for what i was saying about music through my tone. I tell him i have been making music for years and he could definitely hear something but that i had to hit the pizzeria first. I ask if he wants anything while im there, he says hes fine, then i make my way across the street.

Body 2

I enter the pizzeria in a bit of a nervous state because there have only been a couple times prior that i have performed a song for people other than my childhood friends. Yea i had music out on diffferent platforms but doing it live is a whole different thing. I told myself this was no time the be nervous and i order my beef patty and contemplate on what piece of my work i want everyone across the street to hear.
