It is a part of life


Being born into a low class family is not something that I planned. 

But Mom was a single parent with no money and no man.

That is a part of life.

The struggle was no stranger to my family and me.

Sometimes we had to go to bed without a meal to eat.

That is a part of life.

I found sex at age sixteen and had to take a test.

I would say why but you should already know the rest.

That is a part of life.

I'm a senior in high school and my daughter is doing great.

Having her helped me to release all of the hurt and the hate.

Everything that happened to me happened for a reason.

People came into my life to stay and others only came for a season.

All those things are just a part of life.
