She says

September 3, 2014

I watch my streets

Full of hate and despair

But that doesn't get to me

I'm going somewhere

I want to make a difference

My community is in need

But I have to make it myself

To help the people I must succeed

I won't forget you guys

You made me who I am today

But where Im trying to go

I can't just sit here and stay

My dream awaits me

In the form of books and new settings

Some people are very happy

Some people are doing nothing but dreading

But I will return .

I will be sitting on the stoop once more

But this time I will be sharing my stories

Inspiring the youth , opening doors

I will see you guys soon

Time is only in the head

I said I will make a difference

You know be my now

I never go back on what I said
