Life


From being a baby to almost an adult life was always rocky,

Being house to house sometimes taken away from mommy,

Why would this happen to me, I just wanted to be normal?

I couldn’t really express myself because the anxiety and depression were taking over

Grade school was rough, I was so shy

Hated when someone left me, hated the word bye

As I turned 18, I just knew things would be better

I thought I was an adult, until It was really time to be an adult

Throughout the years I got jobs, I and even helped with bills.

Grandmother guided me down the right path, so I could know how to deal.

I was overwhelmed, wanted to be a kid again.

Mother died, and grandmother got sick, I had no other choice

Life happens, things happen, could anyone here my voice?

I was scared and alone but needed to figure things out

Now I am standing on my own two feet, so happy I could scream and shout!
