Was I birthed? or was I just dropped from the heavens, 

Everytime I ask my mother, she say's I was a blessing,

Then I wondered a simple question,

Why have I never lived with my father, am I getting taught a lesson?

My mother raised me and my brother with all the power she could, 

No matter the hurt, scorn, and shame that she withstood,

I guess you can say I was surrounded by family that lived in the hood, 

But no matter the location they knew that one day I would be someone good.

While I attend college life gets harder and harder,

but that just means I have gotten stronger and stronger. 

With Life trials coming to and fro I ask one last question will I make it? Who knows

Only thing I know is to try my best and that is the only way to go. 

WILL I MAKE IT??
