Drop out

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
