Los Angeles

I took a turn down the street of reality; the road to having nothing; the lane of the forgotten. If I close my eyes I can still see the dirt drenched on all the people. If I open my heart a little I can feel the pain they wish they could rid and feel the unsafe feeling of not having shelter or clothing. If I clean out my ears just enough I can hear their tears falling down their grungy faces and their "lost their mind" rambling sentences.

I live my life happy and I know that is how I should my life, but when something like poverty smacks you in the face you can't help but frown for the ones who have nothing to smile about. I will count my blessings a little slower now.

Thankyou to my wonderful adoptive family who put up with me and gave me more than everything I needed to survive when I was young. Lots of love and laughs and problems faced will always be in my heart.

Thankyou my father for still watching over me in heaven, you still pay for my education and love me and keep me safe. I wish you were still here to watch me grow but not a day goes by that I don't think of you.

Thankyou Wades for watching out for me when I had no one, and being my family when I had no family and for giving me so much love. You are the greatest family I've ever met.

Thankyou Baby for being so perfect, you have become my reason to live and given me so much love, you treat me like a queen even at times that I don't think I deserve it. You take care of me, and treat me with the upmost respect. I love you to death.

Thankyou birth family for never forgetting about me or giving up on me and finally finding me. It means alot to feel so welcomed and loved. You guys are so fun and filled with laughter. I can't wait to make up 18 years.

Thankyou to everything that I forgot! I love you all!!
