From death to life

What defines you as a man? is it age? is it the things you have been through? My name is Donald and Ive been through things that would make a grown man cry and break down and ive been in places that cause envy in some and yet still im stuck in a less then bad life. But with the people who love me the people who hate me i some how seemed to want to live without cuts on my leg, blunts in my hand, or needles in my arm. This is the story of a boy who had to become a man too soon.
