I love you mom
It's 2014 and this was move number fourteen
I just started high school, loosing my innocense as a preteen
This new adventure was exciting and bright, but I didn't expect what might come to this very dark night
My mom tried her best at staying in one address
She sacraficed herself as a wife in attempt to giving my brother and I the very best opportunity for a better life
She worked three jobs just to get evicted for the fifteenth time
Growing up I didn't know we were se broke, she was really good at hiding it
And that I admired it
It's 2015 and my moms car got stolen, leaving us with no means of transportation - almost broken
It was the year of realizing things according to Kylie
This year I realized that I needed to be more smiley
Fast foward its 2016 and I fell off a ladder, breaking my back and it completely shattered
Just like my hopes and dreams, came falling down
I could no longer help my family and that gave me a permanent frown
On top of that our house was robbed, leaving us with nothing but our couch named FOB
I was desperate for a new JOB
After that We had to leave my hometown, the new adventure awaits as I take the crown
Its 2017 and I just turned 17
I lived in a city of sins and I had my first sip of gin
But that wasnt the biggest sin that had occured that year
My step father cheated on my mother - almost beaten half to death, now shes living in fear
Her marriage was ont he brink of becoming extinct
Not knowing what to do she fled the zoo
Its 2018 and I feel brand new
I accomplished all my gaols in a new school
This is round 18 and the best one yet - I became manager, top of my class and I am UCSD bound
Its 2018 and I feel like im on top of the world
Ready to conquere the college world with my favorite girl
I love you mom
