Finding The Inner Me

June 28, 2019

Growing up without being financially stable

Made me wonder if I was the only kid without cable

I wanted to be popular so bad

But I couldn’t afford the things my friends had

In my eyes I seen a materialistic society

Kids trying to look cool instead of facing reality

I didn’t take the time out to find myself

I was too busy tying to impress everyone else

As I got older I strengthened my mentality

I found myself and who I was spiritually

I learned to love myself no matter what anyone thought of me

Proved doubters wrong & became more than what they expected me to be

I realized I was more than just optimistic

I have potential and will not be labeled as a statistic
