This girl my parents said I talked too much
I was articulate and my good teachers adored mu determination
My friends aspired the enthusiasm and passion
The life was different to those who just had a clear road
No setbacks, no bumps or forks
No obstacles or red-light getting in the way
Only I always found a way through it all
Be it assault, bullying, hate-crime
Abuse or a lack of love or respect
I was here and always determined to fight
No violence or weapons
My kindness and wit was more than enough
I look back at this hardlife and saw a long road had passed
Many stories were pulled out and poetry
Yet I still have a bumpy ride and many more stories
I'm definitely a young woman with many stories now x
