The Apple Tree


I never once had a plan my mom a drunk my dad abandoned me for whatever reason it was just unfair so how could I an emotionally hurt human being do better than the tree she had fell from Neither went to college neither had ambition, hopes, or dreams just a child on accident how could I do better after all I do know better could I get taken in by my aunt and grandmother could I work hard, put my hurt feelings undercover could I become emotionally strong and graduate high school apply for college, get in and take out a $18,000 loan just to be, know, and do better than the tree that I fell from? Could I be different, due to determination, faith and most importantly my God? Could I?
