Strong Is All I Have


Sadness always got the best of me, yelling...somebody love me!!!

just once, just please.

I've always been alone, im good at making sure my feelings were never 

shown,

the beatings i take, my smile was always fake. my life was made up of pills and mistakes,

never once did i see college come to mind, i could barley go to school

because of all my black eyes. 

it was a sharp pain that laid inside my heart, PARENTS?? HAHA

were so far apart.

a drug dealer as a dad, a mom that was always mad

I was hurting for to long,but i new I had to stau sttong. there was a point where i just wanted to die

i grew cold hearted, I couldn't even cry. I was sick and tired of living this life...

This was me a year ago, hurt and broken, ready to let go. But i kept pushing to be me, 

and knew one day i would be free.

now i have a new family.

school is my main focuss, the key to success

that is my token.

all my scars are healed and no longer broken 

college is the best for me, things have really chabnged,

being a doctor is the best for me. and to leave my past in the past and prove my parents

WRONG.
