I am from pink

from smelling like fruity




hairspray to enjoying a day




with my barbies.




I am now dressed in black





and not smelling like hairspray




but smelling like lotion that smells like



bubble gum.I think to myself have I changed.



I am from being told by




my mom “get your hair out of you



face” and my dad agrees.





I am from rock music




that my parents cant understand



as my parents yell “turn that down”.






I am from out standing





colors of beads that are so big





it covers my wrist to died hair that




is dark purple to black finger nails and


eye liner that is really thick around ,y eyes and dark .



I am from a mother who was





a foster child, who try's her hardest




to get her kids better things then what she



had as a child even with the little money we have now.






I am from a father who tells me





his crazy stories and tells his kids he



wants his kids to do better then him in every way.



I am from a family that moves a lot




because we don't have enough money to




stay In one spot I get so frustrated because



I hate moving all the time.



I am from where family comes




first and it always will no matter what.



I am from being shy and quiet




to being called weird by other people




that don't even know, me they just judge



before they even get to know the real me.






I am from being bullied





in elementary school by kids



because of my weight and how I looked.






I am from being the only




one In my family of five to graduate and




I am proud of it as my dad tells me “I want



you to finish school and graduate and do good”


Which makes me happy because I know that my family


believes in me and will push me to succeed at all my goals.


I am that girl that will try her
hardest to finish something and never




give up on anything that any one can rely




because they know I will never give up.




I am just me and no one can


ever change that
