Don't Be Like Me
By: Charles Shorter
From a broken home, with loving parents, to a mischievous young boy who did whatever he felt like doing, he grew into a young man who became the prime suspect in all of the crimes of his hometown, and an inmate who spent many years in the county jail. As a man, he became a convict, spending most of his adult life in prison. Today, he's a man who cares deeply about the next generations to come, to inspire the young men who think they have it rough.
Don't Be Like Me details the struggles, the battles in the streets to survive, the hardships of growing up in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, right into the twenty-first century. To all the young people who read these words, listen closely, live your life, and be all you can be, follow your dreams, and don't be like me.
