Making It

Mon, 01/26/2015 - 11:54 -- Griner3

I lived with a friend of my mom sleeping on the floor

But , I'm making it

I had to wear friends clothes to school

But, I'm making

I watched my mom being abused many nights

But, I'm making it

I cried in the dark where no one can hear

But, I'm making it

I had no one to turn to or shoulder to cry on

But, I'm making it

I am a teen parent with no job

But, I'm making it

I am turning into a honor roll student

I'm making it

I'm an excellent athlete looking forward to college basketball

Im making it

I will be the mother I didn't have growing up

I'm making it

I refuse to quit at striving for better because I'm making it
