Life With #nofilter


Underestimated greatly,
A golden child to the man and woman that made the
Good kid, the boy never seemed to get in any trouble
Kept a plan in his hand like he was kneeling down in a huddle
never knew of struggle 
that's something that you've probably never heard
this boy was never in the streets not even close to the curb 
an outside look would show that he's nowhere near as fly as a bird
but inside he knows he can't be described by any word
he used to struggle everyday to keep his grades up
but now he's on top filled up like a full cup
truth be told this boy is just a senior in high school
preparing for college looking for scholarships is the main tool
golden child but not just because of the glitter
This is a look at my own life through camera with #nofilter
