A speech from a girl.
Dear adults.
You tell me, "Reach higher! Set goals! Achieve more than what expected of you."
This is great advice to the achievers of my generation. Not me.
I may have potential to be great. But ill settle for less. Ill settle for the cycle set forth of my family. I think drugs and alcohol are not good for you. But hell, do they feel good. alcohol rots your insides but on the outside the world is smoother.
I could earn a lot from school. But I'd rather sleep in. I know there's math everywhere but I'd rather ignore it. I dont know.
I was raised in a crack house. Whole family drug addicts.
Drama. Violence. Neglect. Fear.
I breathed this shit in.
It was my norm.
I want better for my children. But who am i to try to step out of that cycle? I'm no better than my druggie mother.
Why should I try to be anything more? Than what I am.
