Ever since I was a youngin' I've thought
out of the box
Always busy planning my future
Not the kinda kid who was lost kicking
rocks.
When I was just 5 years old, my parents
got divorced.
Not very common back in the day
A quick adjustment to swallow, I was
forced.
As the years went by,
I became stronger and more aware.
This is real life
Whether its right or unfair.
Like most people in the world
I've faced my share of big changes and
obstacles,
Sometimes the best way to handle them
is just to relax like a kid and eat orange
cream popsicles.
Living with mom here,
living with dad there,
It's like 2 different worlds
So many differences that caused me to
stop and stare.
Coming from a mixed background of
blonde hair and blue eyes
Along with curly hair and sweet potato
pies,
This white dominated community was in
for a surprise.
Through all the hardships and changes,
All I ever wanted was the truth with no
lies.
Now I look back at all the many sighs and
cries
Some things I can't remember for what
reason or why.
But after it all I've opened my eyes to
realize my past is what has molded me,
the hundreds of tears and smiles,
something I could never regret or despise
because the love and support that got
me through never dies.
