Self Made

self made and self taught, I started from the bottom and worked my way to the top. I was on my own, I taught myself to survive, I jumped from crib to crib, just tryin to get by. I felt like I was always running but I had no where to hide. I’ve had meals with people who weren’t family hung with ppl that didn’t even like me. The struggle was real but I never let it stop me. I slept on benches with my big brother cuz we wasn’t wanted by our real mother, we stole cars and we rode for each other. I was lost for such a long time, I kept telling myself not to worry, that one day I will shine, one day all I want will eventually be mine. I fed myself and put clothes on my back, I stayed respectful and humble no matter where I was at. I did a year behind bars and fed my brain with books, made sure I had something to help me succeed other than my looks lol I went and got my g.e.d. in jail, I told myself I was gonna do all I can, not to fail. I came out self made and self taught, I learned that I was smarter than what I and everyone else thought. I’ve stumbled along the way, but I keep it pushing and I always pray. I’m proud of myself and who I have become, I can afford to stay in my own home or go out and have fun. I grew up to fast, but now that I’m older I can now leave the pain in the past. I’m self made, i taught myself how to work hard and get paid. I’m self taught, I made my own success and I won’t stop!
