False Dreams And High Hopes

prologue

Since I was a little girl I can remember being stubborn, mean, and most of all tough. You may wonder how I managed to come to that conclusion but those are things that stuck, even in my adult life. It's just my personality. Those kinds of things in life can do one of two things, hurt you or help you, hell maybe even both if your smart. At first I didn't know anything about life, and I can remember as a child saying to myself, what is life like? My folks told me that I had too much sense! Now that I've had a taste of the real life considering the fact that I was doomed since day one, and what I mean by that is, I'm an African American female, raised with out a mom or dad,and the closest thing to me was my oldest sister Tiara. I mean it wasn't all that bad if you take out the abuse mentally and physically. Growing up was difficult but as I look back on it and everything that I went through I probably wouldn't change a thing. Most of you after reading this may understand and majority won't. Sometimes I don't even know but moving forward with anything in life is better than being stuck and being held captive of your own thoughts
