Young


On this planet ...

She may be typical

But growing up,

She had her own differences

Had the onset of different perspectives of life

Learned and showed maturity in an early stage

Processed things differently

then the kids in her 3rd-grade class

Grew up faster

than the kids in her 3rd-grade class

 

She gained,

How to take care of herself, when parents were gone

How to be dependent and deal with hardships

How to do parenting, when her siblings cry

How to be positive in bad situations

How to fight battles herself

She showed that she could do good on her own

She showed the world how courageous she was

She realized that no matter how bad the outcome was she was determined
