The Boxer And The Dancer (Michael B. Jordan)

Prologue

•Drea•
I Don't Have The Worst Life But I Don't Have The Best Either. Most People Would Say 'Be Grateful That You're Alive' But How Can I Be Grateful Of A Life I've Been Wanting To Get Rid Of Since I Was 14. They Don't See What I See, They Don't Feel What I Feel So They Won't Understand. There Are People Out There Going Through The Same Thing But In A Sense, It's Not The Same At All. But There Is One Thing That Keeps Me Here. One Thing Thats Keeps Me Alive, From Doing The Inevitable. It Keeps Me From Making Rash Decisions. I Didn't Have Much Growing Up But As Long As I Had Music, I Had Dance. When I Dance, I Connect With The Music, I Have To Feel It Vibe With My Soul, I Have To Feel It Run From The Tip Of My Toes To The Top Of My Head. I Feel Alive And So Emotional When I Dance. I Let It Take Over Me And It Makes Me Feel Good. When I Dance, I'm Not On The Earth, I'm Somewhere Far, Somewhere Off The Ground. If It Wasn't For Music, For Dance, I Probably Honestly Wouldn't Be Alive Right Now And That's The Cold Hard Truth.

Growing Up, I Was An Angry Kid. I Got Into A Lot Of Fights And That Caused Me To Get Into A Lot Of Trouble. I Wasn't Always Like This Though. It Was Them Who Did This To Me, Them Who Caused This Pain And Anger In Me. It Was The People I Was Suppose To Trust Most That Hurt Me So Much. My Parents. They Abandoned, Basically Said Fuck Me And At 10 Years Old What Was I Suppose To Do. I Tried Getting Over It But To Know That Your Parents Don't Want You, That You're Nothing But A Waste Of Space To Them, Never Stops Hurting. It Never Stops Hurting To Know That They Chose Everything Else Over You. My Grandmother Took Me In. I Call Her Ma Dukes. I Caused Her So Much Trouble. I Got Arrested Numerous Times, I Got Suspended From School All The Time. It Wasn't Until She Had Her Stroke That I Saw I Had To Get It Together, So I Started Taking Boxing Classes To Relieve My Anger . Next Thing You Know I'm Winning Competitions And Making A Name For Myself. But Still, That Ain't Enough. I Still Hurt. I'm Still Angry. All I Ever Wanted Was To Know Why My Parents Never Loved Me.
