Reality
“My darling what we have is perfect and imperfect at the same time.
If you really want to know my love, you are yen to my yang.
We fit together so perfectly, but we are opposite
in every way.
You grew up on the upper east side you were basically rich,
I grew up in the projects, the ghetto. At one point in my life I was homeless.
But although my plight was homeless and broke I was smart.
And my momma made sure I went to school whether I had a house to sleep or not.
My momma seen how smart I was right away,
she did things to help me succeed early.
In her mind I was a genius. I had a way with words, that was my gift.
Because of her love I became a bestselling author and motivational speaker as well”.
“So what is the moral of the story? Situations and circumstances don’t make you, because if you got a good “ foundation “ you will change”your reality “
