Drop out

October 15, 2015

I was a dropout

I was a teen mom

who got pregnant at a very young age

The day I knew I was pregnant gloomy days turned into excitement

But yet I was criticized

I was talked about every decision that I made

Lead me down in different roads

Only if you knew me you would know the struggles I went through

Yet you judge me without any remorse

Take a look at yourself before you point fingers

Never give up on yourself even if you feel like you are drowning inside

because even if you are drowning you could still bring yourself to the surface

The key that keeps me motivated and keeps me pushing to achieve this dreams to the path of

academic are my family

Now till this very day I am a mother of two children who has gotten by till this day and they have turned my life around for good

They are the ones that keep me flowing to survive in this darkness that I’m living when I feel like

I am trapped in a dark hole and there is no way out they make me feel worth the fighting

All this voices in my head previews of my past keep hunting me but I will remain strong I

will survive

I am miles away from hearing my cries and yet I am striving to obtain an opportunity of an open

golden door to contribute a plan of successful future

day by day I go by and it has turned into a magical dream of fairy tales into something imaginary

and I won’t satisfy myself or downgrade to nothing less than a low paid wage I will stride to

survive and further my education and never settle

I will take greater risk to stability and I will be weak for a while but soon I will stand on my own

two feet and I will walk to those doors of success even if it kills me

till this day I am no drop out no more
