2014

I'm young but I remember tryin to strt 
ballin den my life strted falling but I was 
den giving free shots to bring my life 
back up like free throws now I'm tryin to 
come up off of pain like I'm d rose. Its 
2014 this when my life really strt getting 
important. Now caring more about 
myself ,feels worth it. That's just to be 
certain that my future won't be hurting. 
And skip the adult stage of getting my 
life nursed. I'm just saying I gotta care 
about me first. Lately I just been 
thinking. Dang I ain't no baby nomo. I'm 
almost grown where I will hav to worry 
bout my own bills and not bein poor. 
Cause dats my worst fear. Knowing dat 
my life cudve been gone put me in my 
own tears. Thats why I don't want to 
disappear. Cuz I want to be successful 
and have a career. No guranteeds but 
imma try to succeed doin positive things 
this year.
