I am kind,

I am emotional,

I am bi-polar,

I am me,

I like to play sports and to run outside,

I am almost 18 the highlight of my life,

I am almost an adult,

I am a child from a single-parent home,

I am a child who grew up in a "hood",

I am who I am,

And grew up in the conditions that made me who I am, 

I wouldn't want it any other way,

I am blessed.
