I am me


I am damaged, but I am not broken;

I may hurt but I am also happy.

I am strong and determined;

I am not one to fall apart easily.

I am Chelsea, I am me.

I am a Christian, but I am not a judgmental person.

I am a leader and I can be a follower.

I am going to survive no matter what life throws at me.

I grew up in a drug addicted home with a drug addict father and an alcoholic mother,

I did sadly follow in my mother’s footsteps…I am only human I do make mistakes

This mistake cost me several years of my life, as well as my some of my dignity.

I am, a recovering alcoholic who fought to gain her sobriety and to stay clean.

I am a fighter I will not give up on myself.

I am my own worst enemy, but I am also my own angel.

I walked a life that not many my age have to walk, but I will not let that define me.

I am not just a number with a percentage, I am me.

I am going to be a teacher, I am going to be a role model I am going to live my life the way I want to live my life.

I am strength, I am strong, I am caring, I am stubborn, I am going to win at this crazy life no matter what it takes.
