offended/defended/ and neglected


Throughtout life i left so alone, no one to turn to, and no where to call home

parents kicked me out at 16 because i was pregnant by a man witha different color complexity. I had to learn how to grow up fast, carrying a child that her father never even lasted. Trust suddlenly became an object of no feeling and family was something i stop believing in. through all my troubles i never gave up on life, because giving my daughter what i didnt was only things i had left in me to fight. i learned with pain only comes strength and with love only comes with pain. As young as I was, my daughter was the only one who gave me hope to survive, and she is the main reason  I am still alive. im still trying to figure out what my family is worth, because honestly they hurt me the most. my heart now hold loves for one person, my little gitl even though she doesnt understand the pain, and betrayal i been through i know she would never leave my side. I am finally happy realizig i have one person who wont leave me til i die.
