IF YOU AIN'T ME, YOU AIN'T REAL

GROWING UP IN NEW ORLEANS IS HARD WHEN YOU HAVE 5 OTHER SIBLINGS, A DRUNK FOR A STEP DAD AND YOU LOST YOUR MOTHER TO A DRUNK DRIVER. WHEN YOU'RE ME YOU'D WISH YOU WERE DEAD. I'm NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS I HAVE BEEN HOMELESS, AND NEARLY BEATEN TO DEATH.
WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT ME THEY THINK OF THE WORST. TO ME TRUST ISN'T IN MY VOCABULARY.HOW CAN YOU TRUST WHEN YOU' VE BEEN HURT SO MANY TIMES. IF I WERE TO DIE THE CAUSE WOULD BE DEATH BY BROKEN HEART. I'VE BEEN IN THE DARK SO LONG THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT LIGHT IS.
