People wonder how I stand my ground with a smile
I am a youth in care with a story to tell, a person who isn’t impaired
I might be annoying, goofy, loud but never foul
Understanding life isn’t fair as a youth in care evidently you’re scared.
Understanding life is such a disgrace
From the percentage of youth dying every day
This world is cruel with no escapes
Known of disappointment, shame, and pain
Knowing the world is full of people who are insane.
As I am still in pain and broken every day
Understanding your Life could be taken
Know that it only takes 1 mistake
I might be still breaking but my goals and dreams have been awakened
People wonder how I stand my ground with a smile
Even when I feel not at home and alone
Living as a Foster child while on trial
God said “it's time to be on your own and take over your throne”
Blaming God for this situation because my life isn’t perfect
He told me “Your life isn’t the greatest but baby girl smile because you're worth it.”
