I came from the misjudging whispers of my peers
The hard cold stares of the world.
I came from somewhere deep within myself .
I came from nothing and became something.
Came from a past that wasn't so easy.
Confused.
Yeah it wasn't no life of fame.
I been to 12 different foster homes
And went to 6 different schools.
Not a life of fame.
I came from a life where I was
Abused.
Mentally,
Physically,
Emotionally.
I came from a life were I was
Misused Everyday of my life
Confused Every hour of my life.
Abused Every minute of my life.
And Down talked Every second of my life.
But I'm still alive through all the
Confusion
Abuse
And Misuse.
I came from a life where
I learned that I will have to say strong
twenty four hours and six days of my life
Because it will be twenty four hours of one day
that I will break down.
But until then they can't and wont stop
my grind.
