Whatever society says I am

I am the daughter of an alcoholic

I am the daughter of a drug smuggler

I am predicted to be no good as if I will end up the same way

I am the quite kid in class who never speaks

I am labeled as the weak

I am truthfully only a victim

I'm treated as less than average

I'm looked at as an injured puppy

I'm not expected to excel in my life

I'm talked down too

I'm given this huge fight..

I used to make high averages

However Society accused me of being a cheater

Therefore I cheated myself to fit Society's standers

I played soccer for years

However Society bullied me on the field

Therefore I became a quiter

Whatever Society projects for me

That is what will stick with me

That is what will stick with the name Ashley.

However what Society doesn't disclaim 

I am a child of God

I am forgiven 

I am not to blame for my parents's mistakes

But the main one Society has never given...

I am a Fighter.

I am a Survivor. 

I am an Example. 

Whatever Society says I am

Is different from who I truly am.
