I Am


I Am

I Am from the land of the free,

Where anything is possible with enough faith

I Am from the sacrifice of a single mom struggling to put food on our table, and a roof over our heads. I'm from the absense of a father's love and affection

I'm from the long nights in front a basketball goal to become like the next great.

I'm from the 11-2 service on a Sunday morning

I'm from silence of keeping your thoughts to yourself because no one wants to listen.I am from the hours of nonstop music to drown out my reality

I Am someone who cherishes friendships.

I am from the motto "Things won't be like this forever." I am someone who believes God only puts you through what he knows you can handle.

I am from a family with only one person who graduated from college, making me be determined to be the second.

I am from the dream of being able to buy my mom a house so she doesn't have to worry about anything.

I am from a huge Power Rangers collection.

I am from Houston, Texas.

I am forever strong

 

I Am.... Bryson
