Remembering How Bad I had It

Born with nothing
Always Dreaming 
Walked without knowing 
Learn to learn

Holding what I could 
Stand where I stood
Break without Breaking
A short felt burn

Empty feeling 
Refusing to see quiting 
Always engulfed 
By choices that wasn't 

I scraped for needs
I broke deep within
Life new beginning
I slowly woke up
