Steve Coleman

Poetry has been around for ages and is a meaningful way to express one's feelings.

One inspirational poet is Steven Coleman. Steven Coleman is an inspirational poet.  He is a white boy who grew up at an African American High School.  Many people underestimated him and thought he wouldn't succeed because of his surrounding and what he grew up around.

He proved everyone wrong! He succeeded in his studies and worked hard at what he liked to do.  He wrote about his feelings and opinions and expressed himself through his writings.

He made a difference in society in many ways.  He proved that anyone no matter where someone is from or what they so, they can still make it in the world and succeed.  He made a difference- that if you work hard and not care what others say and just do what you love you can do whatever you believe.

He is also a twin!  Twins are the best and I am a twin which makes him even better! =p

This ^^^^ is a video of Steve Coleman reciting his poem -I Wanna Hear A Poem

His poems are inspirational to many people and are displayed in books such as Def Jam Poetry.
