The word can't is not in your vocabulary. You can do anything you set your mind to.


A girl who got everything she ever wanted, she never had to ask twice
Had many friends and loved ones to surround her
March 5, 2007 she felt her first loss, no doubt on her sister’s 9th birthday
The day March 5th is a cursed one for her family a birth, a death, a birth, and a death the next shall be a birth
So close to that grandmother she lost on March 5th that she went in to mental shock at the age of 11 and lost her cherished memories
Then in that same year two months after she felt loss again
She lost a woman who she look at as an aunt she again lost cherished memories because of the shock
Mother and father tried their best at work but still lost the house
This girl so confident in herself, this girl so unique and different from the rest but her friends loved her still
Moved to a different town and was tormented and called a freak for being herself she lost her confidence and wanted to die
She changed her mind because of that sister she couldn’t leave behind. She loved that girl more than the pain she felt
Became gluten to push the sadness away
Once 125 pounds but became 189 by her freshman year
Lost 25 of it during her sophomore year but gained it all back
Something happened to her dad at work
His disk was crushed but no one knew
2 years the disk was weighed down it was too late when it was found nerve damage took way
He cannot feel his right leg, cannot work, cannot drive filled with sadness and disappear
Check did not come one day and he had enough
Went to his room and took out the belt he knew would work
He hung himself on the closet door
The belt snapped and he lived
The girl was distraught once again her world was falling down around her
She now worries to leave him home alone
She now worries because her mother is on her feet all day and comes home in pain
The girl waits to hear her mom say that she too is depressed
Little money to pay for much but her family is rich on love
Life is not easy but she fights to keep going
Puts on a smile so no one can see through what she feels but some who know her can read her well and the truth they know.
