imagine

Imagine the place you called home catching fire at three in the morning on your mom's birthday

Imagine dating a girl for a year and her father beating her to death when he finds out shes gay

Imagine finding out your spine is gradually collapsing and you would need surgery or risk being paralyzed before you're an adult

Imagine an emotionally disturbed boyfriend abusing you guilt tripping you into staying with his problems

Imagine growing up in an all black apartment complex  being bullied and harassed every day because you're a white girl

Imagine winning your grade level spelling bee when everyone said it wasn't possible

Imagine joining Girls on the Run and discovering a lifelong love for running

Imagine winning a battle with depression and coming back stronger than ever

Imagine your parents getting a HUD voucher and moving to a nice house so you longer have to worry about what will happen when you get off the bus

Imagine meeting a guy who understands your past  and finally having a relationship where you can be truly happy and safe

Imagine doing all the things nobody thought you could

Imagine feeling accepted for who you are as a person with no exceptions

Imagine always having the time for your hobbies

Imagine having a loving family with your husband and some foster kids

Imagine not depending entirely  on the government for your income like your parents
