I done been through hell & back & lord knows I just want the best for myself an others around me. This world can be cold, aggravating, cruel etc. but I always knew I would make it to be something great in life. Friends I thought had my back always found a way to make me the center of attention but not in the way I would've wanted. True colors show eventually as they say but I never paid it any mind I just pushed on an kept on staying positive. I have come to appreciate being alone & not always depending on others for whatever the situation may be. I turned myself in a person that has accomplished so much in a short period of time & I never thought it would be to this extent. I love myself more than I ever did as of right now, just coming from a single parent home & never knowing when they was gone cut your electricity, water, heat because your mother is doing everything on her own shit can eventually drive you crazy & make you down yourself because you wanna help but you can't because of the position you're in. I love my mother for raising me right & keeping my head on my shoulders. Young north philly kid who was meant to fail from the beginning but turned nothing into something. The trenches raised me & I've seen it all but I never involved myself in things that would risk my freedom or I would end up losing my life over. Just had to take the safer route & work smarter an now I'm proud of myself. Still got a ways to go though till I make it to the top & whoever is behind me will see the top as well. Shit tricky out here but as long you keep your head high & stay 10 toes down you'll make it through whatever.
