dear self


dear self

people are cruel,rude,disrespectful and heartless

that doesnt mean that you have to be

all your life you have been labeled now its time to change the label

people all around you saying you will never make it but look how far youve came

youve beat rape,almost dying,family,hatred and depression

sometimes people dont know your story and struggle (not even your moma)

sometimes you have to be different and thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

all your life people has been too faced but not for the right reasons'

look around you,things are never as they seem 

please never forget who you are 

remember you are someone,you are destined for greater,you do have a purpose
