Hi, my name is Shakarya Rawchaa. 

I am 16 years old and my favorite color is green. 

I may appear happy to you , but that is not always the case it seems.

Almost killed myself around 15.

Now instead of telling everybody I let it become a part of me. 

 

Faith, is the the belief in things unseen.

But what does that really mean 

when the people around me only trust in money.

 

Its a shame , but how can I sit here and blame

then go back and buy a chain for myself just because I see everyone doing it. 

"Somehow I am different". I tell myself .

No matter how many times I try to fit in

I come out depress and no its not "stress".

Its a test that will help me learn my place in life.

 

Now I know that no famous person like "X"

is going to tell me whats next in my future time.

From now on I am blessed and I will shine.

 

I'll continue to share my story

letting them know that their life is worth more 

then a a check, or what you see on the necks of  the rich people around you. 

 

This  goes out to the next generation of  people who only believe in texts

and pictures of "Happiness". Just like you I thought I was a mess

but then I remembered God knows me best !

 

I can not stay captive and stuck in my 

head because I was shown life in a negative perspective.

So to that I'll say Amen and keep Glowing till the end.
