What they say

What they said and what they still say
I have to live with everyday
But what I make of it is the real case
They said I am fake and that I act white
They said I was to “Christian/Churchly” and
I have no life
They said I thought I was better than them and
I act uppity like I didn’t come from the same place they did
I don’t deny that I come from a broken home
But what I choose to make of my life is only my concern
Does my success intimidate you?
Is it because I don’t act a fool?
It is because I don’t have a child and I have my diploma?
It is because I am in college?
And I’m not running around with a boy calling me they baby mama?
I hope that one day you can put aside your jealousy
Because baby girl let me tell you, it’s not all that people make it to be.
I work my ass off everyday making sure that I don’t become another statistic
Taking the punches that come my way,
While trying to focus on God’s lyrics

Great things

http://bluezoneblog.com/2011/blog-showcase-beautiful-soul/


My blog was recently showcased on Blue Zone Blog's website and it's an honor to be recognized like that! I feel great when i get to share what i love with others be it my work or someone else's. I feel as though someone in the world may be going through the same thing and maybe you know it or not, in one way or another, you may help that person out. I want to be able to reach as many people as i can on my journey called life. I don't want to be remembered for the mistakes i made but for the impact and footprints i left in people's lives. Be it you like me or not, i want to be that person that people never forget! Thanks BZB for allowing me to get my blog out!! 
Peace
