A Declaration..


I refuse to be confined to the four walls of oppression. I refuse to be materialistic, stuck in an obsession. I breathe a breath of peace and tranquility, i refuse to wallow in pain. The strength I posess is unparalled, given to me by life and it's difficult terrain. I was lost in a place unknown, confused and searching for hope. Now i've found a place of another chance and have been given the chance to cope. I have learned to forgive, although never forget, for it has brought me to who i have come to be, a young woman wondering what journey life holds and what the future will be.

<p>We fight, but&nbsp;what cause, we sing, but what song, we act,&nbsp;but no scripts, we&nbsp;ride, but dont trip. we&nbsp;talk, but say nothing, it doesnt matter what it is, with us it&#39;s always something. we should fight as one for a cause, and sing one song. We should act as if we care, and don&#39;t have to&nbsp;trip, nothings put on us that we cant bear. we must talk and say something, and show compassion for what&#39;s fair. It may not have happened yet, but dont worry we&#39;ll get there!</p>
