Growing up all alone,
So many nights so insecure.
Crying tears asking why?
Sometimes I just wanted to die.
Could not understand why this pain just wouldn’t go away,
Young single mother just trying to make a way.
So lost in fear, I felt as cold as ice.
Trying to hide my emotions, didn’t want my little daughter to see me cry.
I got tired of feeling sorry, I just wanted a change.
I let go of some dead weight,
I knew there was a way out this place.
Say goodbye to depression, say good bye to those hurtful lessons.
I must show my daughter there is no time for anything but these great blessings.
Wipe your tears no more crying, back to school I wasn’t lying.
Graduated young single mother, when they told me I wouldn’t amount to nothing.
It’s only up from here, I am screaming loud and clear.
No handouts, no government assistance, hard work and dedication.
Sleepless nights, and motivation.
Clearer thoughts due to forgiveness.
Cannot let no one stop me, I’m on a mission.
Keep up the fight, til you see the light.
Keep your goals real big, you’re living proof of what great strength is.
You got this; you are a true inspiration for your kids.
