There are plenty more episodes that I couldn't include. We didn't ALWAYS get along in my house.
My brother pushed me, and so did My sister. I was forever wondering what TROUBLES each day
Would bring. I was a FIGHTER I FAUGHT REGULARLY..
As far as I was concerned I was pushed throughout my life.
Pushed by people who thought they were harder than me.
YOU PUSH ME, I PUSH BACK.
I was an angry kid. Coming from 4 children and a single
Mother made matters a bit worst.
The anger caused a fearlessness in me.
I nearly took my LAST breath after being pushed into a
swimming pool at 5years old.
LUCKILY I had a guardian angel who rescued me.
NEXT EPISODE:
I had a BAD fight on the SCHOOL BUS.
Saw BLOOD didn't even care.
She provoked the FIGHT. Well I was SUSPENDED
OR EXPELLED. I didn't miss that school, at all.
Survived that episode.
NOW, to a 13 year old what was better than being a GANG MEMBER.
NOTHING!!
We had occasional conflicts with other gangs.
YEAH, graduated from eigth grade and moved on.
Well, high school was a blur.
I developed a few CRUSHES, then graduated and moved on.
C STUDENT.
JOINED the NAVY directly after ward's.
Went into BOOT CAMP TRAINING.
GOT IN GOT OUT.
'TIL this day I STILL CAN'T SWIM.
the NAVAL TRAINING grounds had an Olympic sized
Swimming POOL 12 ft. Deep.
Had a difficult time preventing my own DROWNING.
The instructors forced everybody to jump into the cold water early in
The #!@#= MOURNING.
Well I was in the reserves after I graduated.
YEAH, so i GOT OUT,
a few years afterwards
Now, I'm here writing and DISCOVERING MYSELF.
