Overcoming Obstacles

Location

There was a time where ive been thought it all,

Up and down the streets were graffiti up the wall,

On my own from the age of five,

Some way some how i had to find a way to survive,

I slept in trailers wooden homes and vacancies,

Thee only places i called home on the daily.

I have a sister a brother and a mother,

Lets not talk about my moms significant other,

My brother had a home and my mom was on coke,

I was the youngest that was hard to cope.

From Watts CA to Buckeye AZ,

My oldest sister decided to adopt and raise me,

I am currently going to be a highschool graduate,

Needing money to get into college- yes this it.

Money is very much needed. Please consider me as the winner because I dont want to go back to my old life. I want to make a difference.
