unknown

My life is unscripted, unpredicatable, original.

The unknown - scary. 

But I have come to realize that I shouldn't be wary.

I've been through the worst already,

"Kid, you've got a good head on your shoulders, keep steady."

Family and love run through my veins.

Domestic abuse, homelessness, alcoholism, - insane.

Just a few chapters in my life that I've dealt with, but it's nothing I can't handle.

Struggle is inevitable but it always blows over just like a candle.

Born a fighter, resilient and strong,

But this battle of life has been going on for so long. 

I've been In N' Out of struggle, I'm surpised they haven't called me for any burgers.

My childhood has been taken away from me by time - the biggest burglar.

The uknown is terrifying, everything out of your grasp,

Then when the good times roll by they all happen so fast.

I am uknown to the world.

Just another number,

No one knows me YET, when they do they will be out of their slumber.

Flourishing in all areas of life.

It's been a ride but struggle will turn around and say, "I thought I got the best of her!"

Sorry, but that doesn't suffice, I'm better than ever.

Adversity built me, it didn't break me.

I will be known, wait for my story.

To God I give all the glory.
