I am .


Flip open that dusty old dictionary and, what do you see ?

The word RESILIENT and underneath it an illustration of me.

It means to bounce back , recover quickly and stand tall after being folded .

At first it was hard but I taught myself I was molded,

into a young beast . I had to watch my father leave my mother after 25 years

and i watched him hit the streets. Little did I know that that was just the beginning

his plan was sinning and no repenting. Excuse me let me stop venting, but I took advantage

of my situation most would take for granted. I talk about my situation in hopes to help

someone just like me , they dont have to fight alone. They are brilliant and if you flip

the problem you too can become resilent.
