My Own Author's Note

I don't know if I can count this as a gift, and that's the only part I'm confused about. If I'm gonna count this as a gift, I ain't confused about who gave me the gift... God gave me the gift to write my songs, to write my story. I know it ain't word for word, but it's the truth, and that's something we don't have enough of in this world today. Music is where I go to, not what I go to, when I'm down or angry. It's my outlet, whether I'm feeling sad, angry, happy, or if I'm in pain. God gave me this gift not just for other people to read and hear, but for me to live and find my way out of some of the worst shit that anyone could ever go through in their life. This is why I write, there ain't no other reason. But even if I didn't want to, I have to. My choice was taken from me the moment I stepped foot on this earth. From the first word and action, the choice to let people know exactly what was going on in my life was never an option to me, but I still try to find a way to tell it without lying. Most of the shit I've gone through, I know some people would trade me places without a second guess, but everything that it led up to, I promise every single one of you would be begging for me to take it back. But this is why I have to write, not just for my own sake but for other's, too.
